The Transport Secretary says he has not abandoned the planned electrification along the Midland Mainline.
The government faced a backlash over the summer after it announced it would not be fully electrifying the line between London and Sheffield, opting instead for bi-mode trains using diesel engines.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has told MPs the first phase of electrification will eventually shave 20 minutes off the journey time to Sheffield, while the second abandoned phase would only have reduced travelling time by one minute:
With Halloween almost upon us, it's no surprise to hear there's a poll out today listing the country's spookiest places - and two of them are in North Yorkshire.
Clifford's Tower in York (left) and Whitby Abbey are included in the top 10 spookiest English Heritage sites according to a poll released today.
In 1190, Clifford's Tower was the site of one of the most notorious incidents in English history, when about 150 Jews were massacred after taking refuge there.
Meanwhile, Whitby Abbey helped inspire Bram Stoker's legendary novel Dracula.
Lucy Hutchings, regional director at English Heritage, says: "Our sites are soaked in history and from bloody battles to dark deeds, not all of their stories are sweetness and light."
The top 10 spookiest sites, as chosen by English Heritage staff, are:

A 29-year-old writer from York will find out tonight if she's a top literary prize for her debut novel.
Fiona Mozley works part-time in a book shop in the city and is the second-youngest author to be up for the prestigious Man Booker prize.
She wrote her book Elmet while commuting between London and York and the Man Booker judges have called it "timeless in its epic mixture of violence and love, it is also timely...with no punches pulled."
The book centres on a boy who remembers his life in a house his father built with his bare hands in an isolated wood.
Social services in South Yorkshire are looking for adoptive parents who can give a home to four young sisters.
The girls, all under 10, must remain together, a judge has ruled.
They're currently in foster care, but their current carers have said they're too old to care for them permanently.
Foster carer Anne said: "They are very close and they do need to be together, I think it would devastate them if they were split up."
There are 12 groups of siblings of four or more in the country who need to be placed together.
Last month it was revealed the number of looked-after children adopted in England has fallen for the second year in a row, despite a rise in the number in care.

Hello and welcome to BBC Local Live in Yorkshire on Tuesday 17 October 2017.
We'll be with you until 18:00 with all the latest news, weather, travel and sport updates from across Yorkshire.
We received quite a few pics of the red sun yesterday, looking very much like a majestic, golden, fretted orb, to misquote Shakespeare.
Of the many impressive BBC Weather Watcher photographs, I thought I'd start today with this one, because look closely and you see the Silhouette of an aeroplane.
Hopefully it wasn't as near to the sun as it looks!
If you have a photograph to share, or want to get in touch with us, just email us here.
