Railway electrification in the UK has been a stop-start or boom-bust cycle since electrification began. The initial boom was under the 1955 modernisation plan. There was a flurry of activity in the 1980s and early 1990s but this came to a halt in the run up to privatisation and then continued in the 2000s, and also the Great Recession intervened.

According to Network Rail, as at 2003, 64% of the electrified network used the 25 kV AC overhead system, and 36% used the 660/750 V DC third-rail system. [ 2 ] The electrified network is set to expand over the coming years, as 25 kV electrification is extended to currently unelectrified lines such as the Midland Main Line , as well as lines in ...

The new expected completion dates were now three years later than originally planned, with electrification to Kettering and Corby now targeted for completion in 2019 and then to Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield by 2023. [23] The line from Kettering to Corby was to be doubled, and indeed Network Rail began work in June 2015. [24]
Each container may be 9 ft 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (2.908 m) tall and the bottom of the well is 1 ft 2 in (0.36 m) above rail, making the overall height 20 ft 3 in (6.17 m) including the well car. [41] Electrification cost: electrification requires an entire new infrastructure to be built around the existing tracks at a significant cost.
The MML electrification and modernisation project has been off-and-on for decades. [71] [72] In 1977, the Parliamentary Select Committee recommended electrification of more of Britain's rail network, and in 1979 British Rail (BR) presented options that included electrifying the MML by the year 2000.
