To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects new trains to be in service on the Waterloo-Exeter route.

The first new train for the Waterloo-Exeter line was delivered to British Rail on 23 January. British Rail expects it to enter service later this month. The remaining trains should be in service by July.
