This question was answered on 17th November 2016
The Department for Transport is working closely with Virgin Trains East Coast and Network Rail to ensure the timely introduction of 65 new IEP trains to the East Coast Main Line. The first new train on the East Coast Main Line is due to enter service late 2018 and is anticipated to result in greater seating capacity and reduced journey times.
