Work on electrifying the Midland Main Line, the vital long-distance corridor that serves the UK’s industrial heartland, will continue alongside the line-speed and capacity improvement works that were already in hand. Electrification of the line north of Bedford to Kettering and Corby is scheduled to be completed by 2019, and the line north of Kettering to Leicester, Derby/Nottingham and Sheffield by 2023. Outputs The Midland Main line Electrification Programme known as the MMLe is split into two key output dates, the first running from 2014-2019 (known as CP5) and the second, 2019-2023 (CP6). There are a number of sub projects running under the main MMLe programme which are delivering various improvements in the Leicestershire area. Each sub project has dependencies with each other to enable the full ES001- Midland Main Line electrification programme to be achieved A number of interfaces and assumptions link to these programmes and their sub projects will affect Leicestershire. ES001A- Leicester Capacity The proposed 4 tracking between Syston and Wigston is located under sub project ES001A - Leicester Capacity which can be found on page 27 of Network Rails enhancements delivery plan . The project seeks to deliver a number of capacity enhancements along the Midland Main Line corridor including grade separation (a potential fly under) at MML Wigston junction, new 4 track provision between Wigston and Leicester to enable the separation of the up and down fast and slow lines. This in turn will allow for a new slow line platform to be installed at Leicester Station and new up and slow lines between Humberstone Road and Syston Junction. These works will also look at improved capacity in the Syston area, details of which are yet to be detailed and confirmed. These works are linked with the EM001- long distance high speed services train lengthening project ; the removal of trackside vegetation removal will be carried out / signalling 248 changes / new footbridges and platform extensions will be undertaken along the length of the route with phase 1 being from Bedford to Market Harborough from 2019 and phase 2 -Loughborough to Sheffield from 2023. These works are linked with PJIF funded ES003K- Market Harborough- line speed improvements ; this sub project seeks to deliver realignment of the track through Market Harborough, station alterations and associated infrastructure changes to improve line speeds and passenger journeys. Critical Interdependencies include the Little Bowden level crossing closure with diversion of the existing right of way over a new footbridge. Each project will be considered “under development” up to the single option stage known as Grip 3. Until this stage is reached, uncertainty over scope and timescales for delivery is likely, all sub projects being determined both in delivery and budget by the completion of any dependant sub projects, although not mutually inclusive.

Following the unpausing of the electrification and Hendy review in September 2015, Network rail is currently in the progress of replanning the programme and as yet has not yet been able to provide LCC with a new programme timetable for the delivery of these phase 1 works. Other bridges in Leicestershire were also identified as requiring works but as they remain uncommitted .
