Struck through: original only. Bold: correction only.

Original	Corrected
The ~~Department~~ for ~~Transport ran a public consultation to help inform the specification for the new Northern and TransPennine Express franchises, and received over 21,000 responses; a summary of these~~ have been ~~published~~ on the Government’s website. The Invitation To Tender for the Northern franchise has specified the replacement of Pacers (which are currently used) on services between Huddersfield and Sheffield) by the start of 2020, and other rolling stock used on the franchise will be subject to a substantial refurbishment. It also specifies an increase in the Sunday service provision on this route by December 2017. Our process for evaluating franchise bids encourages bidders to exceed the minimum specifications we state, and the ~~bids themselves are due in~~ to ~~the Department by 26 June. We are due to announce the outcome towards the end of the~~ year. \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The number of publicly-funded chargepoints for electric vehicles that have been delivered in each of the last 10 years, including those for domestic use and those that are publicly accessible, is provided below. The first Government funding for chargepoints was in 2010/11 under the Coalition Government. Chargepoint installations in 2015/16 will depend on demand for domestic chargepoints and the detail of new infrastructure schemes to be announced later this year. 2010/11 \| 2011/12 \| 2012/13 \| 2013/14 \| 2014/15 579 \| 1,401 \| 3,644 \| 9,520 \| 42,423 This question was inadvertently grouped with 2324.
