I'm pretty sure that the MML will be electrified to Kettering (and Corby).
It's the sections north of there that are now off the agenda yet again.
Whats special about kettering compared to Nottingham and Derby which are
much larger connurbations?
Only that it's the junction to Corby. Frankly, they should implement one
So whats special about Corby? They're both past their best midlands towns
without much going for them.
of those battery EMUs shuttling between Corby and Kettering - with
charging wires at either station - and leave north of Bedford to
diesels. At least until they can find the money to extend Thameslink to
Leicester.
Either you find more paths for extra trains or no one south of Luton will
be able to get on in the rush hour if you extended Thameslink that far north.
Plus the timetable would probably become a work of fiction.
