Railways: Carbon Emissions and Electrification
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT)’s Freight Electrification Map Commentary, published on 2 March, which found that “electrifying [these] ‘infill’ sections, which total less than 60 miles, would allow around 2 million train miles a year to be decarbonised”; and what plans they have to adopt that recommendation.
- Answer
-
We are in the process of reviewing the report and its findings. It is too early to say whether we have any plans to adopt the recommendations.
