Electric Spine
The "Electric Spine" is the name for part of a rolling programme of railway electrification projects in England estimated to cost £800 million. The aim is to form 25 kV AC overhead-wire electrified links northward from the Port of Southampton to major cities in northern and central England and a dry port container terminals in the Midlands. The government wants efficient electric-hauled freight trains to compete with road haulage, and in 2012 expected the spine to be completed by 2019. This will not be the case, because various works have been delayed and a major constituent programme—the electrification of the Midland Main Line (MML)— was suspended.〔 This project has now been un-paused but with heavy delay.
Other works associated with the project will include gauge clearance for large shipping containers and electrified connections to adjacent electrified routes, depots and freight facilities.〔
The north–south axis of the link leads to the spine name.
== Routes ==
A high-capacity passenger and freight corridor will run from the south coast through Basingstoke and Reading to Oxford, where it will split. One branch will run to Leamington Spa, Coventry, and the west Midlands, and another will use the re-instated East West Rail Link to Bletchley (Milton Keynes) for the West Coast Main Line (WCML) to the West Midlands, north-west England and Scotland, and also onward to Bedford for the MML to the East Midlands, Sheffield and south Yorkshire.〔
