Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of the length of rail tracks in miles that will be electrified in 2024.

The estimated number of electrified Single Track Miles (STM) that will be added to the network in England and Wales during 2024 is approximately 66 STM. This includes 20 STM as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade and 46 STM on the Midlands Main Line between Kettering and Wigston.

This will be reflected in the Office for Road and Rail’s Rail Infrastructure and Assets data report as per the financial year that each project is completed.

From 2010/11 to 2022/23, around 1265 miles of track were electrified in Great Britain.
