The UK is tiny, why not just electrify the line?

Still requires a much higher initial investment along with maintenance. Which I believe will be harder to get approval for than just different trains. Another factor could also be that the tracks are maybe not owned by the train companies. Making it even more difficult to get any large investments in electrification approved.
