The Anonymous Widower

Where Are The Wires?

I took this video between Twyford and Reading stations.

There is no sign of the overhead wires that will be needed for Crossrail and the electrification of the Great Western Main Line.

To be fair to the comntractors, there was a lot of activity past Reading, so perhaps for various reasons the stretch near London has been left to last. Perhaps they want to get all the trackwork like the Action Dive-Under and the Stockley Flyover completed first!

There may have been lots of steelwork and a few wires between  Reading and Didcot, but there wasn’t anything on the Cherwell Valley Line to Oxford.
