Recommendation
We understand that rail electrification project costs are monitored by the Department and Network Rail as part of the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline process. Any overspend would be flagged by that process. The financial failures of previous electrification programmes caused work to cease. It is vital that the future electrification programmes are subject to a new cost discipline, with robust and rigorous financial controls that enable electrification to be successfully delivered to budget.
