What we are doing
Network Rail will be continuing work to electrify a 1.35 mile (2.2km) section of railway sometimes referred to as the ‘Poplars electrification project’. Piles and masts will be installed to carry new overhead line equipment.
Network Rail’s electrification work, which is expected to be completed in 2026, will enable electric trains to be diverted during planned closures of the Great Western Main Line railway to support the construction of HS2. This is to help reduce disruption for passengers and will provide a long term benefit to allow greener and cleaner electric trains to run on this section of the rail network. Because this route is used by a lot of freight trains, these works will need to take place during weekends at night to minimise disruption to the railway.
