answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2017 answer text <p>Government has been clear that bi-modes are likely to be more expensive to operate than electric only trains but that is not the whole picture.</p><p> </p><p>Bi-modes allow us reduce the up-front capital costs of infrastructure compared to electric trains as overhead wires and gantries do not need to be installed along entire routes. The trains provide greater flexibility for operators when developing their timetables and increase service resilience during disruption. These factors are part of what the government has considered in delivering both genuine benefits to passengers and value to the taxpayer.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 28/11/2017 16:12:28 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2017 answer text <p>a) The Great Western Intercity Express Programme bi-mode fleet has been specified to ensure they can deliver the timetable operated by current diesel trains. Once the current planned electrification programme is complete the IEP trains will operate an enhanced timetable with shorter journey times. At this point, passengers will see the introduction of the full capacity benefits and a reduced journey time of up to 15 minutes between London and South Wales.</p><p> </p><p>b) The Class 319 flex, otherwise known as a Class 769, is a bi-mode train, adapted from a former electric-only train which will be able to run under its own power as well.</p><p> </p><p>The trains can run at 100mph in electric mode and are designed to have very similar diesel acceleration to the 75mph units they will replace.</p><p> </p><p>Converting these trains will enable passengers in the Lake District to benefit from double the number of direct services to Manchester Airport from May 2018. The train operator, Northern, will be responsible for determining the precise timetables under which these trains will run.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 28/11/2017 12:56:03 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
