Railways: Electrification
(asked on 30th June 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many miles of track Network Rail plans to electrify during Control Period 5.
This question was answered on 6th July 2015
I have asked the new Chairman of Network Rail, Sir Peter Hendy, to develop a proposal for re-planning the enhancements programme by the autumn. The plan for electrification will be included in that proposal. I would note however that the previous Labour administration managed just ten miles of electrification in 13 years.
