They were reclassified to the public sector with effect from 1 April 2020, as a consequence of the emergency agreements introduced at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Rolling stock costs include not only unit rentals, but also a range of support services such as train maintenance and stabling, not all of which are provided by the lessor of the train fleet. No estimates are available for later years.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 02/07/2021 09:26:51 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2021 answer text <p>Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the rolling stock companies have supported the rail industry in a number of ways. They have continued and in some cases accelerated maintenance work for the supply chain. They have ensured prompt payment and in some cases have made advance payments to support the supply chain. They have continued to provide very substantial investment to refurbish fleets, invest in decarbonisation and innovation to benefit both passengers and the wider public. We have seen continued development of low-carbon initiatives such as Porterbrook’s hydrogen-powered HYDROFlex train, Eversholt’s SWIFT express freight train as well as interior refurbishment of the West Coast Pendolino fleet by Angel Trains.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 02/07/2021 11:56:32 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
