Network Rail draws up list of ‘no regret’ electrification schemes
Network Rail bosses are drawing up a list of “no regret” schemes to accelerate the electrification of the UK’s rail network.
The list will be submitted to the Treasury and the Department for Transport (DfT) ahead of the publication of the government’s Transport Decarbonisation Plan.
Network Rail chief executive Andrew Haines described the list as a series of “quick wins” with strong business cases to ensure a pipeline of work is maintained after schemes such as the electrification of the Midland Main Line draw to a close.
“We expect to see the DfT’s decarbonisation plan by March next year,” Haines told a press briefing yesterday. “Until then we can’t say what schemes will or will not go ahead as all schemes have to be approved on an individual basis.
