HC Deb 01 December 1998 vol 321 c115W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what steps the Franchise Director has taken to involve the train rolling stock companies in supplying Connex's rolling stock replacement needs. [61877]

Dr. Reid

The two train operating companies franchised to Connex will have to replace or modify certain trains to meet their commitments to the Franchising Director and any requirements of the Health and Safety Executive. How they achieve this is a matter for the companies.
