My apologies if this appears elsewhere but is there anywhere with a complete list of all new stock on order or in the process of being delivered now?

This is my attempt at it. It's still missing the new East Anglia stock until we get more info. It's also not as detail as it could be. Corrections are welcome.
Shows how far behind Alstom have fallen.
Thank you for this list. Please do you mind explaining your colour coding?
Yellow means they've partially started revenue services, but haven't been fully delivered yet. Orange means they've started delivery, but aren't yet on revenue services. Will add a green when a class is fully delivered.
Thanks for that, the only omission I've noticed are the class 88s but it doesn't really matter because the list is already very thorough.
How about splitting column E into columns for "Units under construction/testing" and "Units in service"? I might be able help out with the Class 387 as I've been keeping tabs on that.
And the TPE sub-leased Class 68s?
Just thought of another order that has really gone under the radar: the additional Class 70s for Colas rail freight.
No worries. I've been updating it with people's suggestions, but the link remains the same, so just click it and you'll see it as it stands.Again, thank you for the explanation of the colours. When you have updated will you send it out please?
And this is why I didn't want to add locos.
First time I'm hearing about this. If you post the details, I'll add it though.
Just looking at the Northern DMU order...
Do we never learn, why was ordering 2 car units even an option?

So you can mix formations 2+2, 2+3, etc...

It's odd, I dunno if it's just me but it doesn't seem to have been reported much anywhere and I'd forgotten about it until the other day. According to Abrail there are 7 locomotives, 70811- 817 and are all due in 2017.

Seven nine-car Class 802 AT300 bi-mode trains have been added to the Great Western Railway order with Hitachi Rail Europe.
And it enables potential future cascades to rural routes.
I'm not sure many ROSCOs would bet on having a route for 4 car diesel units in 20 years time!
However, why Arriva decided to order 2 car DMUs without corridor connections when they actually intend to use formations of between 2 and 5 cars is less clear. Saving money seems to be the most logical explanation.
Would have been ideal to have corridor connections yes.
Probably issue was more driver preference for full width cabs over half size though. A common complaint is the gangway obscuring view and the 380's connections were modified after delivery to increase drivers visibility.
Maybe the 387 will be the last GB gangwayed units?
Okay, I finally got around to adding these.
Can someone update me on the state of the 374 orders for Eurostar? I really struggle to understand the numbering system for these trains, which doesn't make it easier, plus up to date info seems hard to come by.
The second batch of 7 sets (half sets 374021-034) have just started delivery from Siemens - 374021/022 has been delivered.
