Terminal Tower Pictures

[blueshift]

I went to Manchester Velodrome for some bike bits today. Whilst I was there I just happened to take some pictures at Stuart Street Substation next door which has a couple of interesting terminal towers. In the picture, the left hand circuit goes nowhere. The 2 circuits in the centre of the picture go to this substation and the very right hand circuit drops down to some sealing ends and then runs underground to Reb Bank substation in Manchester.

The other end of the circuit to Red Bank runs to Whitegate substation via this nice terminal tower on the side of the M60 motorway

I have a few of my other favourite pylon pictures at

In the comming weeks I intend to photograph quite a few more terminal towers around the Manchester area including the 275KV terminal tower just off the motorway in Stockport

I love this design, don't get to see it very often except near substations, but I do look out for it.

(Aren't I sad!)

I agree, it's good to see something out of the ordinary sometimes. That's a funky looking tower!
