“This work will power the cleaner, greener electric trains on the Glasgow- Barrhead and East Kilbride lines in the coming years. This directly supports decarbonising passenger services on Scotland’s Railway by 2035.

Try electrification, @Amtrak. It will reduce exhausts behind your train. We in @Ukrzaliznytsia done 122km of new electrification for the last year. It works.
The UK is so ridiculously behind on electrification. NR have put forward a reasonable rolling program for most lines in the country but ofcourse without a serious government we aren’t going to get it anytime soon. https://t.co/i4mAAxHzmD
Les travaux d'électrification entre Gretz-Armainvilliers, Provins et Nogent-sur-Seine se terminent cet été ! Débuté en 2018, ce projet a nécessité des moyens hors-normes afin de passer du diesel à l’électrique ⚡
Explications des différentes étapes clés de l’été 👇
⚡️ £120m of @ScotGov investment will see 6⃣ new electricity feeder stations at strategic locations across the network, with 9⃣ more upgraded - increasing the resilience and reliability of the system that powers electric passenger and freight trains.

North America vs Europe in terms of rail electrification (black is for non electrified lines, colors are for electrified lines)
Spoiler alert, one map is depressing 🫠
“We need a rolling programme of rail electrification, and we need to start now.”

Over the weekend, and honestly without planning to, I managed to traverse each of the 4 Scottish Central Belt rail lines... All of which have been electrified ⚡⚡
Not a single one of the 5 remaining railways over the Pennines has been electrified yet 👎
If you have 30mins: 1957 film why SNCF electrified steam routes... if you only have 30 secs:
+ 75% maintenance saving
+ 60% operational saving
+ even running on electricity generated by coal, electric trains use 1/10th of the coal of a steam train (1/2)
