A study of main line electrification shows that wiring up more than half of British Rail's 17700 route-km would produce a real rate of return exceeding 11 per cent. Most of the savings come from the use of electricity in place of oil, as a wide price differential is anticipated. If the government gives approval in principle this year, BR's aim would be to convert 400 to 800 track-km a year over a 20 to 30 year period.
