Please select a feature list from the links below:
This list, originally compiled by Martin Baumann, attempts to document all dates when Britain's railways were electrified (and, in some cases, de-electrified or closed).
The line sections are named as convenient identifiers. Start date is the first day of normal timetabled operation. Dates given for 'closed' are as for electric traction (the line may have closed to all traffic or been de-electrified) and where possible denote the last day of electric operation.
Note that the table is large and can take a long time to sort.
The company (or BR region) responsible for each electrification scheme is given in the last column.
