The Intercity Express Programme contracts requires the daily provision of train sets sufficient to operate the planned timetable.
As there has been full transfer of delivery risk passed to the train supplier, when a train is not provided there is no charge.
The effect of this is that Hitachi will suffer the financial impact of these circumstances arising from the loss of income.

It is not uncommon when introducing new trains that rigorous test programmes raise issues that must be resolved before passenger service begins. The rail industry’s utmost priorities are the safe introduction of services and to ensure passengers on the East Coast route receive the planned benefits of the new Intercity Express Programme.
The Department is working closely with the Office for Rail and Road (ORR), Hitachi Rail Europe (HRE), London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and Network Rail (NR) to address the concerns raised by the ORR and bring the fleet into passenger service as soon as possible.
The full benefits of the Government-led Intercity Express Programme, including increased capacity, improved reliability and more frequent services for passengers on the East Coast route, will be delivered once the full fleet is in service in 2020. But in the meantime each and every train that is introduced will itself improve journeys for LNER customers.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the economic contribution of the Intercity Express Programme to the (a) UK, (b) North East and (c) South West.
Rail services are a vital part of the economy and the Intercity Express Programme is part of the national programme of modernisation works taking place on our railways that will improve the experience of rail users and stimulate economic growth across the UK.
The Intercity Express Programme has led to Hitachi investing in a state of the art facility at Newton Aycliffe which has created over a 1000 new jobs in the North East and supported thousands more in the UK supply chain. We expect the programme’s benefits to be realised once all the Intercity Express trains are in service on the Great Western and East Coast mainlines in 2020.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress his Department has made on implementing plans for new Intercity Express Programme and Thameslink rolling stock.
Both rolling stock programmes are on schedule with the first trains for each undergoing testing on the network as planned. Thameslink trains will enter passenger service this spring and IEP trains will enter service on the Great Western Main Line from 2017 and the East Coast Main Line from 2018. The investment in infrastructure together with these fleets of modern trains will deliver increased peak time capacity, reliability and improved connections that will transform journeys for passengers on routes in the South East, through London and out to Scotland and Wales.
