Passengers will welcome arrival of long awaited new rolling stock in 2019

30 December 2018

Commenting on the Rail Delivery Group pledge that the biggest rollout of new carriages will gather speed in 2019 David Sidebottom, director at the independent watchdog Transport Focus, said:

  “For passengers who have put up with much inconvenience in the expectation of a better, more reliable rail service, the prospect of more seats and new trains will clearly be welcome.

“Passengers tell us their top priorities for improvement are more trains arriving on time, more chance of getting a seat or standing in comfort and better value for money services.”
