Future
In July 2011, Harrogate Chamber of Commerce proposed to electrify the line with third-rail, using D Stock of the London Underground, in order to substantially increase capacity. The D stock's replacement by S Stock on the District Line in 2015 will make them available for other locations (they are not yet life-expired, having been built in 1980-83). It is proposed that the stock will be converted to use the bottom-contact third rail system. Several new stations have also been proposed.
