Basically im wondering what the advantages and disadvantages are of electric freight. I'm studying civil engineering and expanding electrification is one of my job interests.
It doesn't seem to happen much and was wondering why? or whether its just lack of investment rather than it not being good.
I was also wondering as a tag along to this. How feasable would it be to electrify to say knottingley so electric stock can take intermodal and other traffic up the ECML then swap for diesel to take it to the various depots and yards in west yorks.
