On top of that to maintain the current full Trans Pennine service they will have to do all the above along with the lines:
- Northallerton to Middlesborough
- Leeds to Hull
- Doncaster to Gilberdyke
Am I missing something on Doncaster-Gilberdyke? London services go via Temple Hirst Junction to Selby, and there is no Transpennine Service between Hull and Doncaster.
Services on the Doncaster-Gilberdyke via Goole route are almost entirely Sheffield-Hull (and beyond) so that stretch really wouldn't allow any more EMU operation.
Much as I don't want to argue against investment in services near me, I'm sure there must be better electrification projects than Doncaster-Gilberdyke!
