Lots of rail is third rail... in London. The entire rest of the country uses overhead lines.

We have been phasing out level crossings wherever possible though.

South coast was still third rail, last I checked. Has Wales been upgraded since I left? Not that it matters if the power supply affects the number of crossings and those crossings are supposed to be the cause of accidents, new crossings will be rarely built.
