The Government remains committed to rail decarbonisation to meet our 2050 net zero target and electrification will play an important part in this. This commitment was set out in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan. To deliver that, the Department will consider potential schemes, guided by Network Rail’s Traction Decarbonisation Network Strategy (TDNS), ensuring that they can be delivered efficiently and affordably.
