Only the following rolling stock may be proposed by Bidders for inclusion within
the East Anglia Train Fleet:
i. The rolling stock that is comprised within the East Anglia Train Fleet at the
date of issuing this ITT;
ii. Diesel multiple units that are leased by a relevant operator other than the
current Greater Anglia Franchisee at the date of issuing this ITT but that will
be demonstrably surplus to the requirements of that operator, either because
new rolling stock is being procured to replace it, or because other rolling
stock is due to be cascaded to replace it or because the Bidder proposes to
release suitable replacement stock from the East Anglia Franchise to that
operator which must be capable of delivering comparable or better
performance characteristics and/or better level of passengers' satisfaction
with the quality of rolling stock;
iii. Electric multiple units, locomotives, driving van trailers and coaching stock of
any class that are leased by a relevant operator other than the current
Greater Anglia Franchisee at the date of issuing this ITT and that either:
(a) Will be demonstrably surplus to the requirements of that franchisee
because new rolling stock is being procured to replace it or because
other rolling stock is due to be cascaded to replace it or because the
Bidder proposes to release suitable replacement stock from the East
Anglia Franchise to that operator; or
(b) Will not be demonstrably surplus to the requirements of that operator,
but the Bidder can demonstrate that it will be feasible for that operator
to secure alternative rolling stock in sufficient time to enable that
operator to maintain the operation of its train services to at least current
standards. Such alternative rolling stock must be capable of delivering
comparable or better operational performance characteristics, and of
achieving comparable or better levels of passenger satisfaction with the
quality of rolling stock. For these purposes the Bidder must demonstrate
68
that it has allowed an appropriate lead time for any modifications that
may be needed to the alternative rolling stock to enable it to meet the
stated operational and quality requirements, for the training of drivers,
and a reasonable contingency margin;
iv. Electric multiple units, diesel multiple units, locomotives, driving van trailers
and coaching stock of any class that are not leased at the date of issuing this
ITT by any Relevant Operator; and
v. Any new-build rolling stock that the Bidder commits to procure.
, isn't the picture shown just a normal D-stock interior with no changes made?
