Rolling Stock

(asked on 17th April 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what strategy has been put in place to co-ordinate the entry into service of 7,000 new rail vehicles in control period (CP) 5 and early CP6 and the upgrading of rail infrastructure in order to maximise the benefits of that new rolling stock to passengers.


This question was answered on 23rd April 2018

Operators set out their strategies for the introduction of new rolling stock as part of each franchise competition. It is the responsibility of those operators to ensure that they co-ordinate the introduction of new trains with Network Rail to ensure that any relevant infrastructure is compatible and available for use.
