Is the OH in that area the Headspan type where if one wire is pulled down they all come tumbling down?

I'm not sure Peter but sounds as though it may be - FCC's website says "significant damage" and as such Network Rail won't have it fixed today and FCC unable to run any trains until at least 06:00 Saturday

The MML OHLE is all of the Mk3 type - headspans for 3+ track sections - as found on the ECML, GWML and other 80s/90s electrification schemes

There used to be quite a cool diagram showing a geographical(ish) map of the National Network with the different designs of OHLE highlighted in different colours, but I didn't transfer over the bookmarks from my old PC and now I can't find it :(

EDIT

Typically, re-googleing it turns up:

Confirmed that 60099 dragged the pair of units to Cricklewood - there's a pic of them coupled on Facebook somewhere which came to my attention.

Nearly as interesting as the 4 66's (66723, 66722, 66721 & 66729) sent by GBRf from Doncaster to rescue Freightliner's 66533 on 4L85 Doncaster Railport-Felixstowe North yesterday (Friday 17 January 2014) (hauled between Grantham and Peterborough), where the train waited for a FL loco to come all the way from Wilton to take the train forward - 386 late!

God bless, Daniel Wilson
