Network Rail’s review of delivery for GWML electrification has been completed with details included in the Enhancement Delivery Plan update to be published soon

Rail Operations Group (ROG) has become the first UK train operator to modify locomotives for the routine movement of electric multiple units.

Great Western Railway Managing Director Mark Hopwood has explained how Network Rail’s electrification delays will affect his passengers.

Network Rail has installed the first mile of overhead wires on the Great Western Main Line (GWML).

ScotRail has fitted power sockets to the first of 40 Class 334s, as part of a £36 million upgrade.

NR's Mark Carne told the PAC “there is no doubt at all in my view” that GWML electrification should have been managed the same way as Crossrail and Thameslink.

Electrification of the Great Western Main Line could be two years late and cost three times as much as original estimates suggest sources close to the project.
