  • Northern Sparks
    Northern Sparks Report of the North of England Electrification Task Force March 2015 Foreword by Andrew Jones MP Chair of the North of England Electrification Task Force Welcome to the report of the North of England Electrification Task Force. Our brief was to prioritise the rail lines of the North of England for future electrification and we have done that. The thirty-two lines of the Northern Rail and TransPennine Express franchise areas currently without electrification have all been considered and prioritised. The results have been grouped into three tiers, with Tier One being the most immediate priority. We have placed economic growth at the centre of our work. The Task Force agreed early on that the economic benefits of electrification would be the dominant factor in our assessments. We have worked on the premise that all the lines of the North would be electrified, it is only a question of when. This report is a team effort. That team has come from across the North; bringing together different regions, different political parties and different tiers of government. And it has been a harmonious and unanimous effort throughout. It is from the North for the North. It is to be seen in the context of the government’s investment in the electrification of our rail network. It is also to be seen in the context of the Northern Powerhouse and the work to drive the economy of the North of England. I would like to thank all the Task Force members - Julie Hilling MP, Ian Swales MP, The Leader of Bradford City Council (Cllr Dave Green) and the Leader of Warrington Borough Council (Cllr Terry O’Neill) – for all their hard work and enthusiasm.
