<p>The rail sector has seen significant private sector investment across rolling stock,
stations, track and signalling. The majority of this has been investing in new rolling
stock. For example, South Western Railway franchise will deliver 750 new vehicles
costing in the region of £900 million, the East Anglia franchise 1043 new vehicles
costing in the region of £1.4 billion and West Midlands Trains 413 new vehicles costing
in the region of £680 million.</p><p> </p><p>In March we launched a call for ideas
for market-led proposals to enhance the railway, encouraging promoters to bring forward
proposals which are financially credible without government support.</p><p> </p>
