Atlases Out (Roughly) <br /> <br />I would say (and please somebody correct me) that 2k out of a 10K systme might be wired up in some form or another. <br /> <br />25KV Overheads on the East and West Coast Main Line; 15m of the Great Western, the Great Eastern Main Lines (Kings Lynn,. Norwich and some branches in East Anglia); the Midland Main Line as far as Bedford and the CTRL; 660V DC 3rd in the South East and South Central Bits of England - i.e. London - Dover; Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton and Weymouth. <br /> <br />So for those bits where freight traffic runs off the juice then diesels are used. Plus there is a charge for the current in the Track Access (operators maybe able to buy juice direct from wholesalers shortly - what fun!).
