Railways: InterCity Express Trains
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the preferred locations for the manufacture of Intercity Express Programme trains by Agility Trains.
- Answer
-
Selection of the site of the Intercity Express Programme manufacturing facility is a matter for Hitachi, which would build the trains on behalf of the Agility Trains consortium. This decision is not being guided, influenced or overseen by the Department for Transport. There have been no discussions between the Department for Transport and One North East about the suitability of Newton Aycliffe or any other location for the manufacture of Intercity Express Programme trains.
