Electrification Statistics

Route KM vs Track KM

Route KM: Distance between two points irrespective of how many tracks are present. If a route has multiple tracks such as a Fast and Slow, only one of the tracks will be counted.
Track KM: All tracks including sidings, yards, loops, etc will be counted.

Year on Year (Official)

Each year the Department for Transport publish figures on electrification. These are reported in Route KM.

Yearly Route KM of electrification on the UK network.

Yearly percentage of electrification on the UK network.

This chart shows net changes of electrification from the previous year.

Auto Generated

The latest values may change with each publish of the network model. This can be daily and is reported in Track KM.

Traction Decarbonisation Network Strategy

The report: Network Rail TDNS, September 2020.

Acknowledgements
I would like to say thank you to the Network Rail team that compiled and provided the TDNS report.

Introduction
In September 2020, Network Rail published the Traction Decarbonisation Network Strategy report indicating a business proposal to have a 'net-zero' emissions rail infrastructure by 2050. This is an attempt to map the TDNS report onto an interactive map.

Assumptions
Track level-detail was not provided. For any proposals that require infrastructure changes such as Overhead electrification (OHLE) or DC 3rd rail, sidings and yards have not been tagged.

How will this be kept up-to-date?
Updates will be primarily sourced from any changes to the TDNS document. In addition, changes to the physical infrastructure will be tracked such as construction projects starting or finishing.
