Transport 2010, the 10 year plan, published in July 2000, cites 10,400 passenger rolling stock "units". However, the source does not make it clear how many carriages there are in a "unit". For example, is a 4-car "multiple unit" counted as one unit or four?
That docucment provides no data on the number of freight waggons, which would also be of interest.
For interest:
Typically one carriage costs circa £1 million and costs at least £100K per year to run. If it last 30 years and if interest on the £million is at the Treasury Discount rato fo 3.5% then the annual payment to repay capital and interest would be£54K. If interest is set to 6% the annual payment woudl be £72K
It would depend on the requirements of the proprietor of the train.

its a 'diesel multiple unit' train consisting of mulltiple carriages powered one or more on-board diesel engine.
it depends on how many carriages the train had: clearly a train with one carriage could transport less people than a train with forty carriages. Also the type of carriage made a difference. Deportations could transport up to four thousand at a time.
