It is insane that Sheffield overall is not wired already.
Agreed - but don't want to take this into the speculation section. I know Brexit is occupying minds at the moment but with climate change and Scotland doing what they are doing I am hopeful. Sheffield is a big city so it needs wires. I don't make decisions but I would actually start from Sheffield and work south towards Nottingham but even before that wire Sheffield to Doncaster and then on a rolling programme do Sheffield Leeds then Sheffield to York but if people etc became available work south. Market Harborough to Leicester must surely feature and if you want to decarbonize freight then surely at some point Nuneaton (ideally to Birm NS) to Leicester and onwards. All interact with eventual MML electrification.
