The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Mrs Theresa Villiers)
I regret to inform the House that there was an inaccuracy in the answer I gave to parliamentary question 4042 on 7 July 2010, Official Report, column 265W, about what new rolling stock orders have been placed for each rail franchise since 2007. The table was incomplete and omitted the order, placed in April 2009 by National Express East Anglia, for 120 new EMU vehicles. The full table is reproduced below.
Franchise | Order date | Type | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|
Southern | May-07 | EMU | 48 |
London Midland | Aug-07 | EMU | 148 |
London Midland | Dec-07 | DMU | 69 |

Southern | Mar-08 | EMU | 44 |
Virgin West Coast | Sep-08 | EMU | 106 |
