Can anyone point to a source that breaks down the length of ac, dc overhead and dc third rail electrification please? Ideally in Single Track Kilometres, but Route Miles would do.

It is not regularly published by any of DfT, Network Rail or ORR, and searching under various terms has yielded no results (including on sites such as whatdotheyknow.com) Its absence from documents such as the Traction Decarbonisation Network Strategy is slightly puzzling - about the only two statistics of use are that 38% of route miles are electrified, and approximately 30% of diesel traction is under the wires.

Any help much appreciated.

This may go disastrously wrong but the data in single track km is published every year in Network Rail's Annual Return, Table 49 (Network Capability). Various rows for 25kV, 750V, dual, non-electrified and so on. Looks like about 46% is electrified now. Obviously track km tend to be higher proportion than route km.

See Network Rail Infrastructure Limited – annual return 2021 – data tables 2 MB

Hope this helps/works.

Table 49, row 4611 to save anyone scrolling through the data
