Trains: Repairs and Maintenance
(asked on 1st March 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the number of breakdowns which have affected bi-mode trains since their introduction in October 2017.
This question was answered on 7th March 2018
As we said in a previous answer of 20 February 2018, UIN 126979, there is no accepted rail industry definition of ‘broken down’, and train-related incidents may be for a variety of reasons and durations together with a variety of journey implications. We are therefore unable to state how many ‘breakdowns’ have affected bi-mode trains since their introduction.
