HC Deb 12 March 1997 vol 292 cc254-5W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) how many locomotives were fitted with the automatic train protector system in each year since 1990; and if he will make a statement; [19695]

(2) where the locomotives fitted with the automatic train protector system are operating. [19659]

Mr. Watts

Automatic train protection—ATP—is currently installed on the Docklands light railway, the channel tunnel and the London underground. ATP is in use on the Great Western and Chiltern railway lines as pilot schemes.

Information on the number of vehicles fitted with ATP in each year since 1990 would be available only at disproportionate cost.
