The Secretary of State announced on 25 June 2015 the pause of work on Midland Main Line electrification and TransPennine electrification. Network Rail subsequently announced to stakeholders that it was pausing work on Ely to Soham track doubling. No other pauses have been announced.


Any further changes to Network Rail’s delivery plans will be announced as part of the outcome of Sir Peter Hendy’s review.
