Rail electrification boost for Manchester Airport
The UK Government's recently announced electrification strategy brings an interesting opportunity.
Electrification of one of the lines connecting Manchester and Liverpool means that it will be possible to run electric trains between Manchester Airport and Scotland. The present services between the airport and Glasgow/Edinburgh use diesel multiple units.
Just over 80% of the route is electrified: that's not enough!
Electric traction is cleaner, more reliable and faster, so this should be a further boost for Manchester Airport and its popular and valuable regional rail connections.
The relevant bit of the strategy document can be found on the DfT web-site.
