The choice of lighting used in Network Rail’s premises is an operational matter for the company.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has no locus to mandate the type of lighting that train operating companies use on their premises. Many depots are owned by the train manufacturers rather than by Network Rail or the train operators, as the contracts for the rolling stock often include maintenance. At stations, when lighting systems are due for renewal, they would normally be replaced with the current modern equivalent standard of lighting.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 28/10/2014 15:54:50 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
