It's not going well on LO this week. We have another "overhead
line problem" at Camden Road tonight.
Not just the NLL. The GN had a power supply problem at Potters Bar.
We came home on the 15:45 to Lynn via the Hertford Loop. 40 minutes
late at Cambridge.
Maybe it's a good idea that Network Rail is apparently having
second thoughts about extending electrification to more lines.
They haven't got any money for any other means of traction, nor the
oil supplies!
Who is "they"?
Of course Notwork Rail don't have to find the traction.
But ToCs can finds "the oil" pretty easily. It's down at around 2%
of the country's total petroleum product usage.
And unless the govt agrees to build a lot more nuclear power plants
real soon, then the electricity industry will continue to use about
40% of our fossil fuel allowance.
You are overlooking the argument used to stop the DMUP orders.
