PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Govia Thameslink Railway: Rolling Stock (5 June 2023)
Question Asked
Asked by:
James Wild (Conservative)
Answer
This route is operated by modern Class 387 and, with effect from May 2023, a limited number of Class 700 trains per day, both of which are less than ten years old. There are currently no plans to upgrade these train interiors; however, they will be fitted with new technology from the £1.8 billion investment under the East Coast Digital Programme which will deliver signalling upgrades resulting in an even safer, more reliable and resilient East Coast Mainline.
