Its a pity we don't use underside 3rd rail in this country more as then the snow issue would be solved plus higher voltages could be used to boot. I think the DLR is the only system in britain that uses it. -- Spud |

Indeed not, though OHLE and high winds (and falling trees!) also don't mix, whereas wind doesn't itself affect third rail, and once the tree has been removed it usually remains undamaged.

My apologies for not pointing out the humourous intent behind my message. I didn't think it was necessary. I forgot that this was the internet. In all seriousness (ish), I can't see the tone of your voice in plain text, hence the existence of smileys... Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the @ to reply. |
