just as the DC line does beyond Harrow?
That was electrified over a century ago.
Maybe that line was electrified over a century ago, but lots of the SE
were electrified with third rail, most recently the mainline to Weymouth

The line between Woking and Weymouth was electrified in
the 1960s at very low cost. I used to travel on that route
frequently. The third rail system did not stop those trains from
moving fast.
