This statistic shows the average age in years of the London North Eastern Railway (formerly East Coast Trains and Virgin Trains East Coast) rolling stock between 2007/08 and 2018/19. The average age of East Coast trains increased by one year each year as of the fourth quarter of the financial year 2007/08 until the fourth quarter of 2013/14, suggesting that the composition of the rolling stock was not changed during that time period. In 2018/19, the average age dropped significantly, likely due to the takeover of London North Eastern Railway in the previous year.
