Happy for you anon, but:
>This thread is for talking about railways, and things related to railways, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Absolutely stunning numbers.
Genuinely makes me wonder if they could replicate that success by introducing this concept to other large cities.

These are from people in rail industry sources:
>Electric trains are more efficient in their energy use since there is no energy conversion process other than that which takes place at the motor; the only losses are those from the generation, transmission and motor control processes. In addition, the regenerative braking capability of an electric train increases its efficiency further, recovering up to 20% of the energy consumed. This means a typical electric traction unit has between 182% and 237% of the power of a comparable diesel unit, while requiring only one third of the energy. For urban transit, trams are seven times as efficient at using energy as an equivalently loaded diesel bus, due to the difference between rolling resistance of steel-wheel-on-steel-rail and rubber tyres on tarmac, improved drive efficiency and lower weight.
'Generation-to-motor efficiency of electric trains is an estimated 80%, compared with batteries at around 65% and diesel or hydrogen at 25%.'

The pdf found here has a lot more info on it, it does focus on 25kV AC OHLE over other types.
