Thank you for your letter of 20 March 2019 providing evidence in order to meet the
Conditions Precedent in the East Coast Trains Limited (ECTL) track access contract
(the Contract).
Clause 3.8 of the Contract requires ECTL to provide ORR with evidence it has entered into
a rolling stock contract, for at least the duration of the Contract (i.e. to the Subsidiary
Change Date in or around May 2031) to procure a minimum of five trains, each with:
(i)a capacity of at least 400 seats;
(ii) 125mph capability with the ability for this to be increased to 140mph, subject to
infrastructure; and
(iii) acceleration and braking characteristics comparable with Class 801 rolling stock
operating at speeds up to 125mph.
We are satisfied that the evidence provided by ECTL on 20 March 2019 meets these
conditions. This letter should be taken as ORR’s written confirmation that ECTL has
entered into such a contract.
I am copying this letter to Rachel Gilliland at Network Rail. We will be publishing this letter
on our website.
Yours sincerely
Ian Williams
