Greater Anglia: Trains

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many Greater Anglia trains have been fitted with advanced monitoring equipment.

Answered by Keir Mather

Greater Anglia has fitted two units with infrastructure monitoring equipment. Some technology is cloud-based and is therefore not fitted ‘per train’. For example, existing CCTV footage can be analysed by AI to identify overgrown vegetation. There are plans to fit further systems to the fleet throughout 2026.
