Written question asked by Lord Berkeley (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Monday, 1 November 2010.
Railways: West Coast Main Line
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 21 October (WA 199), what derogations would be required in connection with cab crashworthiness before new Pendolino trains could operate on lines other than the West Coast Main Line.
- Answer
-
Derogations in connection with cab crashworthiness were granted in September 2008 for the four new Pendolino trains currently being built for the UK. Those derogations facilitated the use of current British standards of cab crashworthiness, rather those required by European technical specifications for interoperability. The derogations are not route specific and are not limited to the west coast main line.
