ELECTRIFYING the entire Midland Main Line could be back on the agenda. The scheme was originally confirmed in 2012, only for Government to cancel electrification north of Kettering/ Corby in July 2017, stating that bi-mode trains would be ordered instead. Electrification was later extended to Market Harborough, but politicians have routinely called for the wires to serve Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield as originally planned. During a House of Commons debate on transport on September 17, HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson said in response to a question from Alex Norris (Labour/ Co-op, Nottingham North): "We are currently delivering the Midland Main Line upgrade, which includes electrification from London to Kettering, with additional electrification to Market Harborough being developed. "Further electrification of the MML is currently at an early stage, but it is being examined by Network Rail."
