West Coast Main Line: Rolling Stock

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many times faults have occurred on Evero trains operating on the West Coast Main line since their introduction.

Answer

The Department does not hold figures for the number of faults that have occurred on Avanti West Coast’s Class 805 and Class 807 Evero trains since their introduction into passenger service. However, the fleet performance metrics which are monitored by the Department show that the reliability of both fleets has steadily improved since they entered service, continues to do so, and is line with expectations for such fleets.
