answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>Rolling Stock is procured through a competitive process to achieve best value for money. The Government has been clear that bi-modes are likely to be more expensive than electric only trains, but do provide valuable flexibility. New diesels deliver an overall better environmental performance than existing diesel trains because they are subject to the latest emission standards but also offer the flexibility to operate in electric mode where there are electric wires.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 06/12/2017 14:49:18 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
