Rolling Stock
(asked on 28th January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to increase the length of trains used for cross country routes; and if so, when they expect such trains to be introduced.
This question was answered on 11th February 2020
The Department is currently working with the Cross Country operator to put in place additional capacity enhancements during 2021, and it is expected this will be achieved through longer trains, rather than extra services.
In addition, further rolling stock options are being considered for the next Franchise.
