Electrification data
Dear Network Rail Limited,
This is basically a follow-up to FOI2018/00959 from August of last year, which provided a map of the network, highlighting electrified lines, including recent additions.
I would like the underlying data for this map. In theory, the existing open data should cover this, but it is out of date/not maintained, and generally not very satisfactory.
I have the Inspire data from https://data.gov.uk/dataset/c0bedef1-823... but this does not provide any info on electrification, and has not been updated since 2012.
I have also looked at the BPLAN schedule file, which in theory provides 'power_supply' for each network link. But this does not seem to have been updated for several decades.
I have reported these issues along with several others to your open data support and requested that both these datasets be updated and re-released, but do not know how long this will take.
If the Inspire data can be updated to include electrification, that would suit me well, but if not can you please supply a csv or similar data format of which ELRs are electrified.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Robins
