Default More heat damage


Apparently the heat is to blame for damage to the over-head power on
lines out of Liverpool Street.

I took the Central to Stratford and then walkd (yes, on the bloody
hotest day of the year so far) the rest of the way.

At Stratford I saw an intercity being drawn very slowly by by a diesel
untit, it's own eletcric having it's transome down.

Curiously the 16:10 that had been cancelled at Liverpool Street was
expected at Stratford at some point. ;-)

Anyway, anyone know the nature of the damage? Overheads stretching in
the heat? Or something more esoteric?
