Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have had discussions with Vivarail on that company’s proposals for refurbishment of D78-Stock from the London Underground; if so when they took place; and whether they are giving encouragement or support to such proposals.
On 13 January, Department for Transport officials met with Vivarail to discuss that company’s proposals for the refurbishment of D78-Stock. Vivarail is a private sector company that has developed these proposals at its own risk. The deployment of rolling stock is a matter for train operators.
