To ask Her Majesty's Government why a franchise was let for the operation of East Midlands Trains in 2019 when insufficient rolling stock was available to meet the commitments of the franchise.
Baroness Vere of Norbiton
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The East Midlands Railway (EMR) Franchise was let in May 2019 with suitable plans in place for trains to deliver the contracted service. Since then the pandemic and its impact has caused delays to the delivery of trains expected from other operators.
