	tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw

This will be specified and managed by Northern and the rolling stock company involved. As the Noble Lord may be aware, the Northern Direct Award is for 22 months – from February 2016 a new franchise competition winner will be running services on this franchise. Therefore the new franchisee will develop their own proposals regarding any further refurbishment or replacement of the electric powered rolling stock.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
