Train services to Stansted airport are to benefit from the introduction of almost 200 extra carriages.
In a deal between the Department for Transport and National Express East Anglia, jobs will be safeguarded at train maker Bombardier of Derby.
Bombardier’s £155m contract is for 120 carriages, primarily for routes servicing Stansted Airport in Essex.
A further 68 carriages now in use on London Midland company routes will be leased by National Express East Anglia.
By December 2011, National Express East Anglia will be able to provide 11,000 extra seats during the morning rush hour.
Car parking is to be increased at four stations – Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, Audley End and Harlow Town in Essex and Diss in Norfolk.
