Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Government is working at pace to develop the framework for a rolling stock strategy which will include considerations around the timelines for new build, refurbishments, and potential cascades.

Once Great British Railways is established it will take the strategy forward providing a long-term approach to future rolling stock needs.
