The Midland Main Line (MML) Electrification programme will enable the electric operation of the new bi-mode trains on the whole of the MML, from South Wigston – Sheffield (139km and 67 structures) by delivering works for the Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) extension to Sheffield and Nottingham, route clearance to accommodate OLE extension, and increased power supply to support electric passenger services to Sheffield and Nottingham. The electrification programme is a continuation of the completed London to Corby electrification.
