I can't see the HSE/HMRI/Network Rail allowing that [3rd rail], as it
wouldn't be an extension of existing 3rd rail electrification. That
notwithstanding, there aren't exactly very many 3rd rail freight locos
around either. ;-)

I think the locals on the route would probably prefer 3rd rail over
ugly OHLE not to mention the irratating buzzing you get with it in the
rain.

Is there a case for freight on the goblin anyway?
