Transport written question – answered at on 11 October 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans there are for use of Pendolino rolling stock for service on the east coast main line; and what assumptions were made about the availability of rolling stock when the east coast main line 2011 timetable was being prepared.
We are aware of discussions that Directly Operated Railways have had about the use of a new Pendolino set on the east coast main line. This is an operational matter for Directly Operated Railways.
Additional rolling stock is not required for the operation of the May 2011 east coast timetable, which has been developed on the assumption that it will be operated using the existing east coast fleet.
