WOW ! Only four years to electrify less than 100 miles of railway. The whole Manchester - Liverpool route was built from scratch in less time nearly 200 years ago. This country must be the laughing stock of the World for the length of time any infrastructure installation takes and the sky-high costs of such works. Isn't the North West lucky to be allocated worn out, 20 year old trains from the London commuter belt? I suppose that the cost of the 159 coaches of the 185's several years ago have emptied the piggy bank for the next 20 years.
