MPs lobby for electric rail route (BBC News)

Electrification of the East Coast mainline would mean faster trains and less pollution, the region's MPs say.

More from BBC News...

Talk about not knowing yer a... from yer elbow! This is about the Midland main line from Sheffield to St Pancras, NOT the "East Coast Main Line". Dumb flippin' journalists! Been on a meeja course and think they're fully equipped for the job.

Moanin', 62440.
