Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 23 July 2018 asking for information about TfL Rail.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require, as below:

81.8%  (or 9 of 11 old trains have been replaced with new trains) on the TfL Rail Liverpool Street to Shenfield route

The last 2 new trains to replace the last 2 old trains have been delivered, but are currently being used to provide TfL Rail services in west London into Paddington Station.

The new trains have not exceeded TfL’s  budget.
