This question was answered on 7th October 2019
The Secretary of State specified that rolling stock on the West Coast Partnership suits its leisure, business and commuting passengers. This will be realised through the introduction of 23 brand new trains on the network, including 13 new bi-modes and 10 new electric multiple units. Voyager class trains will be refreshed by September 2020 and there will be a £117m investment to renovate the Pendolino fleet.
