A part of the network is difficult to electrify and it cost a lot. So H2 still a good alternative.exoerinentation since 2016 show that it is successful. In France there is 1415 km electrified, the small network is representing 15 000 km. You ser the point ?

I see your point but the proportions are wrong. Wiki says that ~15,000 km are electrified out of 29,900 km

    okay so it’s just counting the small/branch lines not the whole network.

    No just electrifying the tracks. Its cheaper in all regards, its a one time investment.
