The Midland Mainline has been crying out for serious investment/electrification for years so its great its in the pipeline.

One route that should be electrified is Stalybridge-Leeds-York as an extension of the Edgehill (Liverpool)-Manchester Victoria-Stalybridge which is already in the pipeline as far as I know.

I know the Settle-Carlisle route is often used for keeping slower moving freight off the WCML but I think the whole character of the line would be ruined if they electrified it.
