Rachel Maclean
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
In Decarbonising Transport: a Better, Cleaner Britain, we’ve committed to pursuing infill rail electrification projects that could allow for a significant rise in the electric haulage of rail freight.
We will continue to develop and announce electrification schemes through the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline process in the usual way, to ensure that they are affordable, deliverable, and represent value for money.
