Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationale1. This is 125mph bi-mode train and there are no bi-modes available in the market that could replace Class 802. This is important considering the changing infrastructure situation on the Transpennine network.
2. There is no other UK based fleets available in sufficient quantities or within the requisite timeframe to meet TPE's needs for the National Rail Contract.
3. Furthermore, the introduction of alternative rolling stock would require route approvals, including but not limited to, gauge clearance and TOC related infrastructure changes. These approvals and changes would not be finalised within the requisite timescales and TPE cannot operate with a gap in its services. |
