Train procurement
Dear Department for Transport,
Train companies routinely indicate that the lack of rolling stock/quality of rolling on their lines are not their responsibility, but the responsibility of the DfT. However, they also routinely publicise that they are procuring new/longer trains for their services. Both of these statements cannot be correct.
Please provide the documentation you hold which defines the responsibilities/roles of both the DfT and TOCs in the procurement of trains.
Note, if the requested information is held disparately or on a per-TOC basis, please only provide the documentation you hold between the DfT and Southeastern and the DfT and South Western Railways.
Yours faithfully,
R Good
