I thought I would start a thread that could go on for many years, this what I saw on two trips, one to Oxford today and another to Cardiff about four weeks ago.
East of Reading Station there are around 30 OHL masts erected including several portal structures.
The northern half of Reading station has also a few portal structures.
The new train maintenance depot to the northwest of Reading station is about 50% wired with a single contact wire and all the other OHL structures are up.
Between Reading and Didcot some piling has been compleated near Pangbourne, there is nothing east of Reading or west of the Pangbourne area.
There is a small holding area for the OHL equipment that is awaiting to be installed just northeast of Didcot station.
On the two lines from the main line to Reading West, there are several OHL masts on both lines.
A few bridges are in the process of being rebuilt in the Slough area, two others just west of Airport junction and another two west of Newport. I did notice that there are three bridges around the Slough area that look too low for OHL, does anybody know if they are to be rebuilt as well?, apart from this all the bridges between Airport junction and Didcot appear to be finished.
