What is the point of this article? It is almost entirely negative, and seems to suggest that the only electrification schemes worth talking about are those of the "Big Four". The Liverpool Overhead Railway opened in 1893 and was connected to the L&YR (part of the LMSR surely?) in 1905; the L&YR followed in 1904/06/13 with the Merseyside lines to Southport; and the L&NWR (another part of the LMS) got going in London with the lines out from Euston and Broad Street in 1916/1922; the Bury line (L&YR again) 1916; the Midland on the Lancaster to Morecambe line. Why does the article have to worded thus - the other railways mentioned (eg Southern) took over already existing schemes too.
