The righthand line carries power at 132 KV from Nursling substation to Velmore substation which supplies Chandlers Ford. Here it goes underground for the last 200m to the substation. This enables it to cross under the lefthand line which is part of the supergrid carrying power at 400 KV between Nursling and Lovedean substations. It is merely passing overhead.
