I vaguely remember reading something about clearance issues with the
severn tunnel wrt overhead wires.
There is no OHLE clearance issue in the Severn Tunnel. *If there was,
they wouldn't be wiring through to Cardiff, would they?
Wouldn't they? You tell me. There were plenty of gauge issues with
containers around the country but they sorted that so why would this be
an issue other than money?
ISTR the Severn Tunnel had very severe damp problems.
s/had/has. They need a lot of pumping capacity.
Not the ideal environment for 25kV AC then! :-)
