Title: Written Question L - Modern trains - flat access and newer technology power Post by: grahame on July 25, 2023, 12:48:49 Meet the Managing Director, 24/7/2023 - extra questions to Mark Hopwood
Graham has sent me the questions that we didnt have time to do and my comments are: Our local trains in the South West all date back to the last century. When will we see modern trains with level platform access and an ability to run on electricity (battery, catenary, third rail or solar panel), hydrogen and perhaps other technolies serving stations such as Exmouth, Falmouth, Avonmouth and Melksham? (7) RESPONSE - When we can make a business case work and there is funding available., Nobody wants that more than I do!
