I know that there are one or two unmodernised lines, but I think there are plans afoot to modernise these too. However, most of the country is in quite a good position, with up to date coaches. The old British Rail simply didn't have that sort of money to invest, and if the railways are nationalised, it's likely to happen all over again.
You need to go further afield OB as perhaps you should visit the West country and Cornwall and you will see plenty of rolling stock more then 40 years old with electrification just a distant dream despite repeated promises by politicians
