Network Rail drafts electrification plan

摘要

A detailed line-by-line business case is now being prepared by Network Rail for an electrification programme that could see the wires ultimately reach Perth, Plymouth, Swansea and Scarborough. South of London, all remaining gaps in the 750 V DC network east of Salisbury would be filled, including Reading - Redhill now destined to become a freight bypass around the capital (RB1316 p3). NR's Head of Enhancement Engineering Andrew Coombes told the 'Choosing Sustainable Power' seminar organised by the Railway Forum and the Railway Engineers Forum on April 15 that the results would be published in the Network Route Utilisation Strategy.
