This was there update for the rail sector



So looks like we won't get to hear more on the longer terms for an electrification strategy for sometime yet.

Mods couldn't find a thread on the traction decarbonisation strategy to attach this to.

Dft wallpapering over the cracks? The National Audit Office has published a report into the Trans-Pennine electrification scheme, in the NAO report, Transport Ministers are criticised for "intervention" causing wasted costs and delays, lack of joined up thinking such as specification of rolling stock which must be compatible with signalling systems. Every year of delay to the TPT project incurs high carbon emission releases The report may be found on the download page of the link to the MAOI page
