Date Published: 25/03/2020

Network Rail is electrifying the Midland Main Line, bringing quicker, quieter and less crowded trains. The upgrade will be the biggest transformation of the line since 1870. However, it also means there’ll be a deadly 25,000 volts running along the line at all times. And from Saturday 11th April 2020 this power
will be switched on in your area.
