Rolling Stock Leasing Market Investigation Order 2009: review

The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) is interested in gaining information about:

• the operation of the Rolling Stock Leasing Market Investigation Order 2009 to date
• any other important changes that have taken place since the order came into force

Passenger rolling stock is expensive and a major resource to the rail industry (rolling stock charges totalled £1.5 billion in 2012 to 2013). Competition between the rolling stock leasing companies is therefore an important issue for us.

A review of your responses be completed by the end of March 2015. Decisions on any next steps to take will then be made based on the information gathered.
