Although the '3' is discernible on the identity plate, the 'PYA' is not. This was obtained from plates in better condition further along the route. The three conductors for PYA start at Three Bridges Main substation, but are hung on the east side of PYB pylons as far as PYB 5. They then angle away to pylon PYA 2, where they are still hung on one side of the pylon, the other side being empty. Between PYA 2 and PYA 3 they are rearranged into a two and one configuration, as seen here. This continues for the rest of the line. It is interesting that there is no pylon PYA 1, presumably PYB 5 notionally standing in its place. This route is believed to be operated by UK Power Networks now.
