Lightning strikes twice on Greater Anglia

[elementalpat]

Seems this evening that once again a train on the track near Northumberland Park has hit the overhead cables and caused major damage.

Having had a similar incident not too long ago it begs the question as to why the OLE is always 'hanging loose' and also perhaps the quality of the repair job may have to be questioned.

Is this an area that has been upgraded? If it has been, it's a bit concerning, understandable if not.

This is what the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. Serious wonder if its an issue with the new 379's as it always seems like those units are in the middle of an OHLE problem.

As far as I am aware, this dewirement happened around the Angel Rd area.

Repairs were completed an hour or so ago. Test train was running through 15 minutes ago.
