<p>Department for Transport officials have asked Southeastern to consider all available
opportunities within the rolling stock market and received outline options in February,
with a more detailed proposal due from Southeastern by the end of the month. Any decision
on the Department funding additional rolling stock must be supported by a business
case which clearly demonstrates both affordability and value for money, and we will
be working closely with Southeastern to assess the options, costs and benefits before
taking any funding decisions.</p>
