IIRC Drayton Park has both fourth rail and overhead,

The fourth rail isn't operational. It was disconnected when the overhead
was installed. It does have a short length of third rail and overhead, but
that's not uncommon.


This seems to imply that overhead + 4th rail is in some way harder to do
than overhead + 3rd rail... I would have thought it would be the other way around.


I think it just so happens that no fourth rail DC trains normally share
tracks with any overhead line AC trains.
