answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>New rolling stock will transform the passenger experience across the country. For example, on Northern and Transpennine Express, by 2020 all the trains will be brand new or completely refurbished, and all the Pacer trains will be gone. The East Anglia franchise will deliver over 1,000 new carriages, the West Midlands franchise will see over 400 new carriages, and South Western railways will deliver 750 new carriages. In their planning, operators consider the impact of new rolling stock and the growth in reliability as trains are first introduced. Work is underway in the industry to learn and share lessons on the introduction of new rolling stock.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 21/01/2019 11:38:05 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
