UK’s Network Rail developing a prototype battery-powered train; trying Li-ion and sodium-nickel batteries

Green Car Congress

A battery-powered train could use non-electrified and diesel lines, and recharge their batteries at terminal stations—i.e., electric traction could be introduced to more parts of the railway without the need to necessarily extend the electrification infrastructure.
