Cross Country Trains: Rolling Stock
(asked on 30th October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with representatives of CrossCountry trains on the replacement of rolling stock after the first batch of Voyager trains comes off lease next year.
This question was answered on 5th November 2018
The Department has cancelled the Cross Country franchise competition in light of the Rail Review. It is now considering options for the next franchise once the current contract ends in October 2019, so passengers continue to get the services they need. The chosen option will address the need for suitable rolling stock.
