Thameslink Railway Line
- Question
- To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what assessment he has made of the merits of the provision of more than one additional train maintenance depot for Thameslink stations.
- Answer
-
The Thameslink Programme will enable the operation of a high frequency service through central London to destinations both North and South of London. In recognition of this, the train maintenance strategy is based on there being two new depots, one North of London and the other South of London. A two depot strategy will provide the most efficient means of servicing the new Thameslink fleet.
