To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with Southeastern on new rolling stock.
Answered on
13 July 2023
In late 2022, Southeastern went to the market for expressions of interest to replace its ageing Networker fleet at the end of its lease. This could be through refurbishing or cascading existing rolling stock, new build, or a combination of both. An invitation to pre-qualify will be issued to interested suppliers shortly.
Any replacement rolling stock will be subject to a successful business case required to support the investment decision and ensure value for money.
