To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much new capacity will be delivered by the 7200 new trains to come on to the rail network between 2014 and 2021; and how many of those new trains are like-for-like replacements of the existing stock.

The Industry set out in their rolling stock document (Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy 6th edition) that there will be more than 3,000 additional vehicles on the network by 2021 providing more capacity for passengers across the country. Passengers will see a step change in quality with the introduction of new fleets delivering modern travelling environments and features passengers expect.
