It was obvious when we discussed the line of the channel tunnel route, the need for electrification and the desperate need for new rolling stock.
The rolling stock leasing companies, who now own most of the passenger rolling stock, were privatised in 1995.
As part of the review, we are examining the current performance and future operation of the rolling stock leasing market.
How much of the total is for new rolling stock?
The private sector must ultimately take the lead in providing rolling stock.
The rolling stock had almost disappeared, lorries were non-existant, and thousands of bridges over almost all the roads had been blown.
A good deal of the rolling stock has been renewed since the war.
They are, however, unable to provide a service until the necessary rolling stock is available and certain roads have been made suitable.
