Sadly, I don't see new electrification schemes anywhere unless / until :
1. The shower in charge of DfT are retired, transferred away or sacked.
2. Bi-mode trains have proved to be a very expensive mistake compared with full electrification. And as DfT would doubtless do everything they can to conceal their failures.....
Some of the great great grandchildren of readers may live long enough to see the next major electrication schemes.
(Assuming much of UK has not sunk by then into the sea due to melting of polar ice-caps -- total melting would probably flood much of London and other coastal towns/cities)
