I am still unsure what work has been authorised to work until completion! Is it just one stretch of wiring and the rest is planning and enabling works?
This is my take.
The Church Fenton scheme is approved in full.
I think the Leeds-Huddersfield scheme (4-tracking, remodelling and resignalling) is approved but I'm not sure about the wiring.
The Miles Platting remodelling scheme has not been specifically mentioned but is also probably approved.
The rest of the route will still be at the planning stage, with a decision due at the end of the year when NR has produced and costed the plans.
I think the mood music for full electrification is good at the moment but it has to last until the specific go-ahead is given and contracts are in place.
As we have seen before, projects can be stopped/scaled down even after "approval".
The next positive sign will be when NR awards delivery contracts to the major suppliers (some framework contracts are already in place).
