Electrification

How we maintain and install overhead line equipment on the railway near you

Electric trains are better for the environment than diesel trains, and they’re quieter for both those on board the train and those living close to the railway.

We’re making it possible for electric trains to travel on more areas of the rail network by electrifying railway lines that only diesel trains can run on at the moment.
