T-Pylons To The West Of Yatton Station
I talked about National Grid’s first T-pylons in National Grid Energise World’s First T-Pylons.
Today, I went and had a look for them and found where they cross the Bristol-Exeter Line between Yatton and Worle stations.
I took these pictures.
Note.
- The first nine pictures were taken going West between Yatton and Worle and the last eleven were taken going East.
- Some of the mature trees seem to hide the pylons, as the train passes.
T-pylons are deliberately smaller than traditional pylons, as these pictures show.
It is certainly a good attempt at producing a less noticeable electricity transmission line.
The Anonymous Widower 
I was on this line a couple of weeks ago. I’d forgotten all about the new pylons, but happened to be looking out of the window at the right time. They’re very distinctive and hard to miss – if you happen to be looking out of the window! Apparently, they aren’t all energised as yet, but should be by the end of the year. Can’t find any reference to any more being constructed, but perhaps they’re waiting to see how these ones get on before making any plans.
