We are working on it 😌
OK - we did phase 1 of Great Western Electrification (phase 1 - highlighted). When are we doing phase 2 (phase 2 - tracks without highlight)?
“This work will power the cleaner, greener electric trains on the Glasgow- Barrhead and East Kilbride lines in the coming years. This directly supports decarbonising passenger services on Scotland’s Railway by 2035. #Decarbonisation #NetZero #Green #Electrification #Palpatine
Top 5 lines in the North to electrify now! Great to see a list put together by @railindustry @railindustryNTH riagb.org.uk/RIA/Newsroom/P…
The UKs one would just be depressing… We need a rolling program (what’s on display here) of rail electrification here so badly. #TDNS
Try electrification, @Amtrak. It will reduce exhausts behind your train. We in @Ukrzaliznytsia done 122km of new electrification for the last year. It works.

You can change who is at the top - but it doesn't change the outcome. #AbolishTheTreasury
The UK is so ridiculously behind on electrification. NR have put forward a reasonable rolling program for most lines in the country but ofcourse without a serious government we aren’t going to get it anytime soon. networkrail.co.uk/wp-content/upl…
Turns out stop/starting & continually changing scope costs money - or £190m in the case of Transpennine. Who knew! nao.org.uk/press-release/…
Les travaux d'électrification entre Gretz-Armainvilliers, Provins et Nogent-sur-Seine se terminent cet été ! Débuté en 2018, ce projet a nécessité des moyens hors-normes afin de passer du diesel à l’électrique ⚡ Explications des différentes étapes clés de l’été 👇
⚡️ £120m of @scotgov investment will see 6⃣ new electricity feeder stations at strategic locations across the network, with 9⃣ more upgraded - increasing the resilience and reliability of the system that powers electric passenger and freight trains. gloo.to/6Gal
North America vs Europe in terms of rail electrification (black is for non electrified lines, colors are for electrified lines) Spoiler alert, one map is depressing 🫠
“We need a rolling programme of rail electrification, and we need to start now.” Our Innovation Director @manomilda speaking at today’s @NetZeroAPPG event on transport in Parliament. #NetZeroWeek
Over the weekend, and honestly without planning to, I managed to traverse each of the 4 Scottish Central Belt rail lines... All of which have been electrified ⚡⚡ Not a single one of the 5 remaining railways over the Pennines has been electrified yet 👎
If you have 30mins: 1957 film why SNCF electrified steam routes... if you only have 30 secs: + 75% maintenance saving + 60% operational saving + even running on electricity generated by coal, electric trains use 1/10th of the coal of a steam train (1/2) youtube.com/watch?v=7l6v2q…
@RailwayMuseum It has to be ELECTRIC for me!!! ⚡️
Shadow Transport Secretary @LouHaigh urges further electrification to decarbonise the #UKRail network. #MCConf22 #RIAMidlands #RailDecarb
One year after @commonstrans published its Trains fit for the future report on decarbonising rail, we've reviewed the Govt's progress. Out of 12 recommendations, we found: 🔴no progress on 5️⃣ 🟠some progress on 4️⃣ 🟢good progress on 3️⃣ Our full review 👉 riagb.org.uk/RIA/Newsroom/P…
