"The purpose of the Train Infrastructure Interface Specification (TIIS) provides information concerning the Network Rail infrastructure on which the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) trains will operate from the date of their introduction. The TIIS also supports the development of a train design compatible with this infrastructure and facilitate discussion and optimisation of infrastructure – train system interfaces to achieve the best whole life whole system solutions."

Alstom has notified the Department for Transport that it is withdrawing from the Intercity Express Programme bidding process. Experienced rolling stock engineers have criticised the mass and energy consumption targets in DfT's technical specifications for the 200 km/h IEP as impractical (link below.) http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2008/02/alstom_withdraws_from_iep.html#more |

The Train Technical Specification sets out the essential requirements for the IE trains. Per Section 4.2.1 of the ITT, DfT may accept a Bidder’s technical solution which varies from these essential requirements. “ITT Appendix C: Added Value Monetary Values” sets out the monetary values for the adjustments to the bid price for each of the Core Routes and Priced Options. This document gives the Bidders sufficient information to enable them to optimise Value for Money between alternative designs.
