Electrification work on the Coryton line
In recent days, wiring of the electrification on the Coryton line has begun. This is the view east from the footbridge to Hill Snook Park showing the catenary wire in place - note how it zig-zags above the track to even out wear on the trains' pantograph heads. The contact wire would be added within a day or two.
