A quick reminder of the power supply layout (pre-Grayling) on the MML:
At the moment, everything from Bedford northwards is due to be classically fed (i.e. earth wires and RSCs in troughs). Sharnbrook MPATS (Mid Point Auto Transformer Site) is now just referred to as an MPTSC (Mid Point Track Sectioning Cabinet), for example.
Although, that being said, this looks very like an auto-transformer to me... @Elecman , what say you?
(This is Sharnbrook)
I've seen works taking place on Flickr for Ampthill TSC (to be SATS?), and Chalton/Long Meadow Farm (AT)FS has been covered before in the thread. I recall work on the Bedford ATS being mentioned too, although I've yet to visit. Nothing on Leagrave, East Hyde & Napsbury so far though.
Rather anachronistically, Irchester TSC (to be SATS) is on the Wymington Deviation - something of interest to @WymoWanderer methinks! (Images to follow)
Harrowden TSC (/ATS?) is located on the site of Finedon Station (just north of Finedon Stn Rd O/B) - no photos as I couldn't find anywhere near it to park!
Finally, Kettering North TSC (to be SATS?) is pretty much at the point where the MML and the Corby line diverge; of note, only the across-track feeder wires for the Corby lines are attached to the OLE. About half of the cross-track feeders are coiled up, either awaiting wires on the main line or mothballed. (Pics to follow)
