Southeastern: Rolling Stock

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the expected completion date is for Southeastern’s rolling stock procurement process.

Answer

The Southeastern rolling stock procurement is currently live and is subject to evaluation and all necessary governance for approvals. We are unable to confirm exact timescales due to the confidential nature of the live procurement, but subject to business case approval, it is anticipated that the contract award will be in 2026. Southeastern will keep all stakeholders informed as this progresses.
