Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

[59CosG95]

Yes, it does. I'm struggling to think of a Scottish electrification project that uses headspans.

Don't believe any of them have since the ECML & Carstairs-Haymarket, at least outside Glasgow QS (which used them underneath the trainshed roof for aesthetic purposes only).

There are a few locations, Partick station springs to mind.

I believe that the lines out of Haymarket that were electrified for the East Coast project use this method for a short stretch.

I think there are some in Queen Street - safely under shelter.

Don't know if I'd count that as a Scottish project though. It was the northernmost end of an Anglo-Scottish project.

Doesn't this line (the line between Haymarket West Junction and Saughton Junction) have portals rather than headspans?

I knew I’d have some of the terminology wrong!

I notice that a few trains have been diverted via Winchburgh tonight - I assume this has been a regular occurrence to get this work done at nights?

There’s new masts erected all the way along the line at the end of Edinburgh Airports’ runway.

Ayrshire route electrification has many headspans. Even at straightforward two track stations like Killwinning, good old wires dangling in tension everywhere...
