Message:		I see that Peter Atkinson (MP for Hexham) asked the Secretary of State for Transport when she expects refurbished rolling stock to be available for Northern Rail services on its Newcastle to Carlisle line; and when Pacer trains will be decommissioned. The written reply from Tom Harris (Parliamentary under-Secretary, Department for Transport) was:\| Decisions on deployment of rolling stock rest with the franchisee, Northern Rail. The department understands there are no plans to withdraw Pacer trains from service. This doesn't answer the question! ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
