So, at the moment 360s can only operate with one pan down (8 or 12) and max 75 mph North of Bedford.
I'm puzzled; will further overhead line work be necessary to get to the requirements of the new timetable (110 and all pans)?
Or is it because testing is needed to make sure that the OLE can cope with pans every 4 cars, which raises the question; why this has to be done empirically, rather than rely on design calculations and computer modelling?
Edit; couldn't spell 'Bedford' ...
