The Intercity Express Programme (IEP) was an initiative of the Department for Transport (DfT) in the United Kingdom to procure new trains to replace the InterCity 125 and InterCity 225 fleets on the East Coast Main Line and Great Western Main Line.

On some departures two IET (Intercity Express trains) can be joined together, usually so that towards the end of the route, the train at the front can leave the other behind and reach more distant and therefore less popular destinations.

The Intercity Express Programme (IEP) began as an initiative from the UK Department for Transport (DfT) back in the mid-2000s. The goal was simply to find a suitable replacement train for the HST. The civil servants themselves created the specification for the train and organised the tendering process.
