I Do wonder if 3rd rail is better as I hear so many times that trains are delayed, cancelled etc owing to over head wires coming down, either due to high winds or being pulled down by the pick up equipment on the trains or locos, this seems especially bad in east anglia, the ECML and around Bletchley. I know in the winter the 3rd rail does Ice up sometimes, but that does not seem to happen so often. ( I wonder too why when they electrified the East Grinstead Line, the did not also do the Uckfield Branch and the Ashford-Hastings line when Ashford was set up Eurostar).
