Commenting on the announcement that work to electrify the TransPennine and Midland Mainline rail routes is to be recommenced, a spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group which represents Network Rail and train operators, said:

“The railway is crucial to Britain’s prosperity, connecting people with jobs, friends and family so it is important to have continued and sustained investment in it.

“With ever more people being attracted to travel by train it is good news that work to bring faster, more reliable and greener journeys to passengers in the north and on the Midland mainline is to be restarted.”
