Not to be a pedant but the peak voltage should be 35.36kV, 25kV is just the RMS value

Wasn't there a planning application for Kegworth feeder connection?

4 tracking Dore to Sheffield Midland station, doing something about the northern throat (would cost billions though).

Yes I know a number of us who have already gone down, I'm heading down on Sunday, thankfully I'm avoiding the train! Which pub was it? Nags head in Covent Garden is a favourite amongst our lot.

The trains are going to be Chaos on Monday with over 44,000 Sheffield Wednesday supporters and 20k+ Barnsley going to London!

Those circuit breakers on the 400kV side are 'Live tank' circuit breakers as opposed to 'dead tank' circuit breakers which are more common (or certainly more common for DNO's).

I can understand why to Doncaster wouldn't be easy, but why would to Westgate be particularly difficult? Low bridges?

For the country that invented the rail industry, it's embarrassing that in 2022 we still have major cities the size of Sheffield and Nottingham that don't have a single electrified line, it simply wouldn't happen in countries like Germany.

I'm guessing the new bridge has been designed to have enough clearance for overhead wires should the line ever see electrification in the next 100 years, that would be an oopsie if not!

Are those live tank circuit breakers I see?

Grayling talking out of his rear, nowt unusual about that!

I had hoped this was satire by the OP, I guess not :rolleyes:
