§ Mr. Don Foster
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when all Mark 1 passenger carriages will be replaced, broken down by(a) vehicle stock and (b) train operating company. [86553]

§ Mr. Jamieson
New vehicles to replace Mark 1 rolling stock have been ordered and are being manufactured to allow the withdrawal of all Mark 1 vehicles by the statutory deadline of 31 December 2004. However, it may not be possible to introduce all the new vehicles by this date because of scale of the power supply upgrade that is required. The industry is exploring various options—one of which includes the accelerated installation of TPWS by 31 March 2003.
