This question was answered on 20th March 2023
The next phase of MML electrification is already underway with overhead line equipment being installed between Kettering and Wigston.
We continue the development of HS2 East, for which MML electrification is essential. We intend to publish the RNEP shortly which will confirm the latest position on all Network Rail schemes including electrification of the MML to Sheffield and Nottingham.
