I Would like to see an extension of the electrification of the GWML to include Bromsgrove to Yate. and into the west end of Gloucester station. Also from standish junction to Swindon. This would allow trains to run from Cheltenham to London under wires. I hope the DFT will look at providing the 1.4 billion cost, that I heard from station staff, as would allow cross country to run duel power trains from Manchester down to BTM under wires. Note that the signalling would need to be upgraded first.
