December 22, 2008 - 01:28 PM Paul Clark The fact is that East Midlands Trains under the Franchise terms are not allowed to lease/buy rolling stock at will. The DfT control the amount of rolling stock out there. Complain to your MP and the Transport Minister whose constituency is right in the centre of the East Midlands Trains area to get this changed – or make it and election issue at the next General Election which could well be in 2009. No one denies (except perhaps the DfT) that there is a serious problem on the Norwich - Liverpool route. We really need to keep the pressure up on this one with MPs and those who control these things – Not least of which are the ROSCOs whom might consider reducing their leasing costs to the TOCs.
