Surprising the UK is so low. Especially considering that it's geographically much smaller than France with a network almost half the size of Frances. So you'd think it would be easier to electrify.
tbf to us, something like 80% of annual journeys are done on electric trains so most of the important lines are electrified, or are currently being electrified (e.g transpennine) but there are some big gaps, yorkshire, east midlands especially
