Railway electrification in Great Britain
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Railway_electrification_in_Great_Britain an entity of type: Thing
Railway electrification in Great Britain began in the late 19th century. A range of voltages has been used, employing both overhead lines and conductor rails. The two most common systems are 25 kV AC using overhead lines, and the 750 V DC third rail system used in Southeast England and on Merseyrail. As of March 2020, 3,758 miles (6,048 km) (38%) of the British rail network was electrified. According to Network Rail, as at 2003, 64% of the electrified network used the 25 kV AC overhead system, and 36% used the 660/750 V DC third-rail system.

The electrified network is set to expand over coming years, as 25 kV electrification is extended to currently unelectrified lines such as the Midland Main Line, as well as lines in the North of England as part of the Northern Hub.
