Hi folks, this is a bit of a roundup kind of photo thread showing some of the photos that I have taken on my travels in the last two and a bit months to present.
We start in Bristol at the GWR railway open day that was held at the St. Phillips Marsh train depot that was a public event on Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May. Lurking in the background was this L3 DT tower that I think terminates the XW line as depicted by caldridge in his thread on that line

Moving back towards home I was out in Middlewich with my girlfriend and we stopped off at a roadside Starbucks for a drink and in the background I spotted this

Looking on GE and the aerial images it looks like it is sited in an industrial factory so unsure whether it is just a static tower or was originally the termination point for a line. Also it is hard to tell just what voltage the tower might have been if part of a line. My thoughts are a pre-Grid 33/66kV as comparing it to known PL1b 132kV ST towers it looks different and smaller. Any comments?
First part of my holiday in July was a one-night stopover so we could visit York. I went past the newly added tee between the XC and XD line that has been added to feed to Brampton substation. More on that later. The first day Sunday 3rd we used the Designer Outlet retail park and ride facility to go into York on the bus. However the next day we moved a bit further along the A64 and went to Grimston Bar PnR where I noted the L6 4ZR line close by. But then realised it crossed over the car parks. Even better a nice big L6 D60 towering over the cars.. :-)

Later on Tuesday afternoon the blue skies had clouded over and gone grey :-( but I still took some more photos including some zoom distance views of the nearby Osbaldwick substation 400/132kV. Lines coming in are the aforementioned L6 4ZR from Creyke Beck via Thornton and the L2 YR line that eventually connects to the L12 2TW heading north towards Norton/Lackenby. Also here are PL 132kV lines plus the L3 132kV line that heads to Scarborough via Malton substation. I guess the pre-grid lines also terminate somewhere nearby. This L6 line still running on quad conductors and insulators on the deviation towers and twin vertical insulators on the D suspension towers.

This is L6 tower 4ZR 135 the penultimate tower on this line. What is interesting is that these two circuits do not have the traditional colour band circuit coding that I was expecting but rather on the west side of tower (nearest car parks) was a green diamond.

After a lovely few days staying near Filey and going to visit Scarborough and Whitby by train we headed back to York on Friday 8th. Those of you that know the A64 will know that the road passes through a certain village.. called Rillington.. so on the way back in the rain I just managed to get this snap of the road sign.. only just whoops! So for member rillington this is for you!

Further down the A64 on the Malton bypass part I had spotted the L3 substation but with trees I couldn't get a clear enough view on the other side of the road. So instead got these pre-grid DT terminal towers that have a feel of a PL16 DT to them

Crossing over the A64 somewhere. Note the twin conductors on both circuits

Heading home from the PnR and joining the A64 towards the A1(M) affords this view of this L6 D tower - note the lower tower geometry of one angle and not several angled sections like on the other L6 D tower designs
i195.photobucket.com/albums/z231/paulsrailphotos/UK%20Pylons/2016%20May%20to%20July%20Bristol%20to%20Yorkshire/20160708_175826_zpsqlmu9bxl.jpg
Across the fields the next L6 D10 or D30 tower
i195.photobucket.com/albums/z231/paulsrailphotos/UK%20Pylons/2016%20May%20to%20July%20Bristol%20to%20Yorkshire/20160708_175836_zpszuu5hxvw.jpg

Just before the A64 meets the A1(M) we come to the new junction I referred to earlier where a new section of line has been erected in the last year or two to tee into the XC 275kV line running from Monk Fryston to Poppleton (York). The new line is designated XD and uses L3c D towers and L3 deviation towers D10/30 and what looks like a D90 where it meets the Pxx L3 line that was taken over to route power towards the recent Brampton substation. This is the L3 DJT junction tower. It looks a little unusually sited but has been done this way as the XD line does not tee into XC at 90 degrees angle more like 70-75 from true

Start of the XD line with L3c D towers

The existing XC L66 line with a D tower seen here. Note the inward pull on the insulator strings

The new tower joining the XD to the Pxx line looked to me like an D90 tower but I just couldn't quite be sure as was moving along the road and too many trees and bushes in the way to properly tell! Now as far as I am aware they never did a D90 in the L3 tower series??
Just further down is this odd arrangement of L3 DT towers forming a wrong side tee junction.

Having left the A1(M) at the next junction down and commenced on the M1 we head around Leeds. There is an L3 line that is the XK line from Monk Fryston to Skelton Grange a NGC line. This has L3c D towers in it as well clearly seen from the M1. A bit further along there are some L4M towers used as single circuits that then feed into some metal pole/towers as shown then revert back to L4M to terminate

Then some PL16s in double and single circuit use

And we finish off on the M62 where the L6 4ZZ line heads west towards the tee with the 4ZP line. Mostly deviation towers most still using quad conds/insuls but with some tell-tale signs of scaffold and netting towers over roads that may suggest that a re-wire or re-furb may be on the cards soon?

I hope you enjoy those photo links. Comments welcome. I am heading over to Scunthorpe this weekend with girlfriend on a family event so I will see yet more towers on the M62 and M18/M180 then!

We start in Bristol at the GWR railway open day that was held at the St. Phillips Marsh train depot that was a public event on Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May. Lurking in the background was this L3 DT tower that I think terminates the XW line as depicted by caldridge in his thread on that line

Just before the A64 meets the A1(M) we come to the new junction I referred to earlier where a new section of line has been erected in the last year or two to tee into the XC 275kV line running from Monk Fryston to Poppleton (York). The new line is designated XD and uses L3c D towers and L3 deviation towers D10/30 and what looks like a D90 where it meets the Pxx L3 line that was taken over to route power towards the recent Brampton substation. This is the L3 DJT junction tower. It looks a little unusually sited but has been done this way as the XD line does not tee into XC at 90 degrees angle more like 70-75 from true

Start of the XD line with L3c D towers

The existing XC L66 line with a D tower seen here. Note the inward pull on the insulator strings

The new tower joining the XD to the Pxx line looked to me like an D90 tower but I just couldn't quite be sure as was moving along the road and too many trees and bushes in the way to properly tell! Now as far as I am aware they never did a D90 in the L3 tower series??
Just further down is this odd arrangement of L3 DT towers forming a wrong side tee junction.

Having left the A1(M) at the next junction down and commenced on the M1 we head around Leeds. There is an L3 line that is the XK line from Monk Fryston to Skelton Grange a NGC line. This has L3c D towers in it as well clearly seen from the M1. A bit further along there are some L4M towers used as single circuits that then feed into some metal pole/towers as shown then revert back to L4M to terminate

Then some PL16s in double and single circuit use

And we finish off on the M62 where the L6 4ZZ line heads west towards the tee with the 4ZP line. Mostly deviation towers most still using quad conds/insuls but with some tell-tale signs of scaffold and netting towers over roads that may suggest that a re-wire or re-furb may be on the cards soon?

I hope you enjoy those photo links. Comments welcome. I am heading over to Scunthorpe this weekend with girlfriend on a family event so I will see yet more towers on the M62 and M18/M180 then!
