Electrifying key UK rail routes will mean faster, greener, quieter and more reliable journeys for thousands of passengers. More seats than diesel trains and superior performance will give journey-time savings. Electric trains are cheaper to operate, require less maintenance and have lower energy costs.

In 2012 Alstom, Babcock and Costain formed ABC Electrification to support Network Rail in meeting the UK railway’s electrification challenges. ABC Electrification has secured over a billion pounds of orders to date making it one of the largest electrification contractors in Europe.
