answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2014 answer text <p>The Government understands from the owner of the Class 142 fleet that a new final drive system is being fitted, which will require less maintenance and overhaul than to continue to maintain the old equipment. The operators of this fleet will see a benefit from fewer reliability issues and fewer out of course oil changes and wheelset changes due to final drive issues. No other work to this fleet is currently planned.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 18/06/2014 13:04:04 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
