<p><del class="ministerial">The Department for Transport ran a public consultation
to help inform the specification for the new Northern and TransPennine Express franchises,
and received over 21,000 responses; a summary of these have been published on the
Government’s website.</del></p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">The Invitation
To Tender for the Northern franchise has specified the replacement of Pacers (which
are currently used) on services between Huddersfield and Sheffield) by the start of
2020, and other rolling stock used on the franchise will be subject to a substantial
refurbishment. It also specifies an increase in the Sunday service provision on this
route by December 2017. Our process for evaluating franchise bids encourages bidders
to exceed the minimum specifications we state, and the bids themselves are due in
to the Department by 26 June. We are due to announce the outcome towards the end of
the year.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The number of publicly-funded chargepoints
for electric vehicles that have been delivered in each of the last 10 years, including
those for domestic use and those that are publicly accessible, is provided below.
The first Government funding for chargepoints was in 2010/11 under the Coalition Government.
Chargepoint installations in 2015/16 will depend on demand for domestic chargepoints
and the detail of new infrastructure schemes to be announced later this year. </ins></p><p><ins
