answer text: The figures in the table below provided by Network Rail set out how many additional miles of rail track the UK government (not devolved administrations) expects to electrify in 2023, 2024 and 2025. These figures are approximate and subject to change. Year Line Miles of electrification 2022/23 Barking Riverside Line 2.5 2024/25 Wigan Bolton Line 13 Transpennine Route 38.5 Midland Main Line 47 These figures relate only to electrification that will be completed and operational during the years requested. Any figures for electrification that is expected to be completed but not operational during the requested years has not been included. There is a pipeline of schemes across the country where sustained work is underway which will be reported in the years to come. Since 2010, more than 1,200 miles of electrification has been delivered in Great Britain, including almost 800 miles in England and Wales in the last six years, making up for years of underinvestment in electrification. As well as continuing to electrify existing lines and exploring alternative forms of traction including hydrogen, the Government is also investing in new electrified lines as part of the £96bn Integrated Rail Plan, with work already well underway on HS2 from Euston to Manchester.
