RAIL INDUSTRY SETS OUT FUTURE POTENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ROLLING STOCK
A report published by the rail industry marks a key step towards a market-led approach for delivering rolling stock which meets passengers’ needs over the next 30 years. The report, welcomed by Rail Minister Simon Burns, sets out a range of scenarios for the future size and makeup of the national passenger rolling stock fleet needed for the next three decades in the context of growing demand, infrastructure enhancements and greater electrification of the network. The high level analysis suggests a possible near doubling of the fleet could be needed by 2042.
At the heart of this growth is a
potential requirement for between 13,000 to 19,000 new electric

vehicles by 2042, compared with around 8,500 electric vehicles in Britain today. That would be equivalent to delivering an average of eight to 12 electric vehicles every week, and would increase the proportion of the fleet made up of electric vehicles from around 68% today to over 90% by 2042. This is the first time since privatisation that the industry has joined together to outline a long term, cross-industry strategy on rolling stock. The work was overseen by a group chaired by Richard Brown, Eurostar Chairman, and made up of ATOC, the three main train leasing companies (Angel Trains, Eversholt Rail Group and Porterbrook Leasing), and Network Rail.
