There was Transport Questions in the House of Commons today and one of the questions asked was from Rob Roberts who is a independent MP from Delyn to the Transport Minister Richard Holden which was "When will the North Wales line get electrified", the Transport Minister completely by passed the question, nothing new there then.

Personally at the moment I am looking at any new Rail Electrification this way, no more electrification schemes will get authorised for the time being, but also will any current projects that have been given the go ahead, i.e. The MML electrification, will be cut back.
If any rail electrification gets the go ahead in the near future than I would have thought the Didcot-Oxford and Chippenham/Bristol Parkway-Bristol Temple Meads would be near the top of the list, not the North Wales Main Line.
