TransPennine Express

RE: First Transpennine Express
Im thinking that when the line eventually does get electrified between Oxenholme and Windermere wouldn't this be the best time to stick a possible passing loop in on the line .
I say eventually because it looks like all electrification projects seem to be slowing losing time now.

This line can at times suffer from the fact that only one train can be on the line at any one time and this does preclude any service frequency increase in this increasingly popular tourist area.
