	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>East Coast has conducted some limited analysis on the effect of converting first to standard class carriages on the franchise. Their analysis shows that standard class is not currently capacity constrained. As such, they consider that there is no immediate demand for more standard class carriages and, especially considering the upcoming introduction of the new InterCity Express trains, such a conversion is not likely to provide the best outcome for East Coast passengers or taxpayers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 28/10/2014 15:27:09 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
