Railways: Carbon Emissions and Electrification
(asked on 11th October 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what her policy is on electrification of the Snow Hill Lines; and what steps she is taking to help deliver zero-carbon rail on those lines.
This question was answered on 19th October 2022
In the Transport Decarbonisation Plan the government committed to deliver a net zero rail network by 2050. To do so we will electrify additional lines and deploy battery and hydrogen trains on lines where it makes economic and operational sense.
No decision has yet been taken on the approach which will be used in decarbonisation of the Snow Hill Lines.
