question text	Her Majesty's Government whether they are currently paying rental charges for the Intercity Express Programme trains which will be delivered before the electrification of the lines is completed; and if so, what is the total amount of those charges.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL774
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>Payment for Intercity Express Programme (IEP) trains is made through Set Availability Payments (SAPs) which are due to be paid by Great Western Railway (the train operator) to Agility once the Great Western IEP fleet comes into service from this Autumn. The fleet is all bi-mode so the timing of electrification of the line is not a factor in this process. The amount of SAP charges payable is a commercial matter and not available for release.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 20/07/2017 10:42:20 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
