    A factory on rails – the first of its kind to be used on Britain’s railways – will slash years off the time it will take to electrify the Great Western main line.

    With 235 route miles to electrify from Maidenhead in the East* to Swansea in the West - and many thousands of trains to keep running while the work is done - Network Rail is working with German manufacturer Windhoff to build the High Output Plant system (HOPS) train to do the job.

    Well there have been problems on the ECML attributed to the OHL being a bit on the flimsy side, this is the Brunel over engineering solution.:rolleyes:
