Midland Main Line: Electrification
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce battery-electric regional trains on East Midlands train routes.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government has committed to develop a long-term strategy for rolling stock and associated infrastructure. This work will include consideration of the likely long-term future rolling stock needs across the network, including the East Midlands, and the opportunities for different traction types including battery electric trains.
