Written question asked by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Wednesday, 21 December 2011.
Railways: Electrification
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 19 December (HL13874), if Transport Scotland's proposal to terminate all East Coast trains at Edinburgh were taken forward and electrification were extended to Swansea and Weston-super-Mare, what effect would this have on the number of bi-mode trains which would be required.
- Answer
-
If the proposals referred to in the question were taken forward this might mean that fewer bi-mode trains were needed and more electric trains compared to what is currently envisaged. The exact number of trains needed would depend on, first, the diagramming impact of integrating the changes into the rest of the service pattern, and, secondly, the number of bi-mode trains needed for use during engineering works and other disruptions.
