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
