Written question asked by Louie French (Conservative) on Tuesday, 10 December 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 12 December 2024. It was answered by Simon Lightwood (Labour) on Tuesday, 17 December 2024 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Southeastern: Rolling Stock

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of providing funding for new rolling stock for Southeastern metro services.

Answer

Southeastern is currently out to market with a live procurement exercise to replace its ageing metro fleet. This could be through refurbishing or cascading existing rolling stock, new build, or a combination of both. Any replacement rolling stock will be subject to a successful business case, required to support the investment decision and ensure value for money.
