"The Trent Valley line is a railway line between Rugby and Stafford in England, forming part of the West Coast Main Line. It is named after the River Trent which it follows. The line was built to provide a direct route from London to North West England and Scotland, and avoid the slower route between Rugby and Stafford via Birmingham..."
...The line was electrified on the 25 kV AC system during the 1960s, in the wake of the 1955 British Rail modernisation plan."
