The train lines between Manchester - Leeds & York go over the Pennines with lots of very old, very long tunnels. The cost to electrify those lines probably doesn't make it worth it. Maybe they could partially electrify it closer to Manchester & Leeds which would require smaller and lighter batteries.

You can view the line on this drivers cab video from Manchester to York.
