PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Rolling Stock (22 October 2024)

As part of our reforms to the railway, the Government will develop a long-term strategy for rolling stock promoting a longer-term, whole-system approach. This strategy will seek to provide a strong and steady pipeline of orders, supporting British manufacturing and ending the volatility in demand that we have seen over recent years. It will also consider the best financing structures for future orders in partnership with private capital.

Officials are working to develop this strategy alongside the creation of Great British Railways.
