Greg presses Rail Minister on Chiltern Railways and East West Rail rolling stock

[@mitchellhurd9300]

I believe the plan for now still is the 6 x 2-car Class 196 trains leased from West Midlands Railway.

Viva rail had a battery operated train. A converted D stock train from London Underground. Why doesn’t the government consider buying this rolling stock from what was the old Viva rail train company?

I believe the rolling stock and the intellectual property rights are now owned by GWR
