Topic: Distribution of the Kelly Coaches (Read 1492 times)

Ruth Kelly recently upped the number of new / extra coaches for the reailways of the UK from 1000 to 1300 but there was some doubt as to where they would be going / "too early to say". But comment yesterday evening revealed the following likely distribution:
800 to 900 - Suburban electric train services, primarily for London and other large cities
160 adding 2 extra coaches into the West Coast Pendelinos
200 to 300 for the North of England.
Which leaves between 140 and minus 60 for non-electrified services in the Midlands, South, East and West of England. That won't go very far, will it?

Quote from a speech by Tom Harris , Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport at the Railway Forum Symposium (link below.) http://www.dft.gov.uk/press/speechesstatements/speeches/railwayforumsymposium"By January next year, we aim to publish a rolling stock plan. This won’t be a definitive carriage by carriage allocation, but it should give a clearer indication of where capacity needs will be met." |
