<p>As mentioned in my previous answer to HL 5871, when existing diesel trains require
replacement we will work closely with operators and manufacturers on deploying the
most appropriate traction technology. The Government supports the deployment of hydrogen
and battery trains to decarbonise the network, as well as further electrification,
and we would expect where diesel-only trains are replaced, their replacements combine
different power technologies that make the most operational and economic sense.</p><p>
