Chris Grayling said it was too difficult to run electric pylons along the whole line between the two cities, and that bi-modal trains could instead operate with diesel engines on part of the network. If there are bits of the TransPennine network that are complicated to do and we have a bi-mode train, we can say: Here is a section we can have a diesel. We will be electrifying TransPennine but we can do it in a smarter way. Mr Grayling also said a programme to upgrade the through platforms at Manchester Piccadilly station which are currently overloaded and cause delays would be reviewed. No comment required-23.07.17 |
