Up to 1,000 new cars will be introduced between 2017 and 2023 as the original cars are phased out. Abi Millar finds out how these new railcars are being designed to meet today's transport needs, and examine how real-world testing is informing the final product.

With many UK rail fares rising well beyond inflation since privatisation in 1993, high customer costs risk damaging rail travel's value proposition as an alternative to the road. Why hasn't private sector competition brought lower fares as some might have expected, and does nationalisation offer the prospect of a clearer and more reasonable fare system?
