(asked on 22nd July 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to announce plans for infill rail electrification projects as part of the Transport Decarbonisation Plan.
This question was answered on 6th September 2021
In Decarbonising Transport: a Better, Cleaner Britain, we’ve committed to pursuing infill rail electrification projects that could allow for a significant rise in the electric haulage of rail freight.
We will continue to develop and announce electrification schemes through the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline process in the usual way, to ensure that they are affordable, deliverable, and represent value for money.
