Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government how the passenger and freight trains on East West Rail will be powered.
This question was answered on 3rd April 2025
At the recent non-statutory consultation, EWR Co confirmed their preference for discontinuous electrification to power passenger services once the full route is open from the mid-2030s. The rolling stock used for freight services will be a matter for freight operators to decide.
