WQ84903 (e) Tabled on 29/03/2022

Will the Minister provide a breakdown of the carbon dioxide emissions by each model of train in use by Transport for Wales?

Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 05/04/2022

The table below shows the Carbon Dioxide emissions for 2020/21 calculated by Transport for Wales (TfW) for the fleets of trains they currently use.

As part of our £800m investment in brand new trains the vast majority of these trains will no longer be in use by TfW by the end of 2024. The new fleets that will replace them will produce less emissions, perform better and will provide a significant improvement in passenger comfort and experience.
