L2's are great!

Anyone able to shed light on what those things are on the earth wire. Seen them on the line between Walpole and Pelham and here just north of Carrington.

Have a trundle through Gloucestershire on street view for some time and you'll come across the ZF line. Here seen near Cirencester

Found this rather fab photo of the M27 motorway under construction. Taken I’m guessing in the early 70s and shows Nursling Substation in the background. To the far left is the L6 line heading down to Fawley Power Station and in the right hand side is the line down to Mannington.

Still think the L2 D90 is one of my utmost fav designs out there. This one seen just south of Ocker Hill.

And why not a combo of L2's and canals up in Birmingham as seen here between Ocker Hill sub and the tee connecting this line to the ZF route near Tamworth

View from the M6 just north of Preston where the WCML runs adjacent to the ZX line from Penwortham to Hutton

Another interesting find just coming out of West Boldon, and there is a diversion of L8's for only 7 ish towers but there is an L12 DJT being used which I wasn't expecting to see.

The mighty ZA line running from Elstree Substation up to Staythorpe Power Station, via subs at Sundon and Grendon. Seen here between Grendon and Staythorpe. Further up the line there used to be a tee to Corby power station which was removed back in the 90s.

Back to Jarrow in Tyne and the ZZA line throws up these 2 river crossing towers which used to have 6 hanging insulators but in recent years they have acquired the deviation insulators on the bottom arm. Strange but interesting find.

No yeah, dont worry I get that! I was just relaying what is possible for me. Yes I do agree L2 D10's are one of mine too

For me getting to a lot places isn't very easy due to high costs of travel and not knowing the areas well and for me google maps is the only way for me to track certain lines and towers of interest to share here. Yeah, it is not ideal but I have to work with the best of what I have got. But I can share these that were taken earlier today. Photo 1 - The ZL line crossing the A413 near Missenden looking towards tower 442 heading north Photo 2 - The ZL line heading up towards Amersham Substation looking towards tower 444 up to to 447 Photo 3 - Close up of ZL443's panel sign

Towers ZZA71 and ZZA72 at South Shields Sub. Running from just north of Hartmoor up to Blyth. Quite a few L2 D90's appear up here too!

Yeah I believe this tower will be used to route the T-pylons coming out of Bridgwater onto the ZG line which runs back to Melksham Sub. I have a feeling it might be modified into more of a D90 when the works are complete because at the moment ZG is still connected to Hinkley via one circuit. There is another one of these towers near Quainton I believe. Not sure if its classified as L12 or L13.

Also, some updated screengrabs of the works around the ZG and VQ lines

On the ZA line near Market Harborough, i give you a rather extensively modified L2 D2!!

Whilst we are on the subject of D40EC towers, there are 2 types of what is the BICC equivalent on the Bolney - Ninfield - Dungeness line and looking at it, it looks like a stretched deviation tower with a D60 peak

All the DT's at Thornton are L12's, One type has the extended upper crossarms and the other ones have normal length crossarms. Interestingly i haven't seen plans for the DT with longer upper crossarms so that's probably the one without special designation

Well its got squared off crossarms just like the L2 D40EC and seeing as it splits the line in this circumstance, it would not surprise me if it was a D40.

Looking at it closer up on streetview and from various web photos, its definitely the same as that one at Dunford Bridge. My call is that it's a D20 but i'm not certain

Yep that's them.

Talking of L6 oddities, you've also got this Blaw Knox variant too. I know one another exists at Connahs Quay too but it was a DT before the modifications took place

Here it is, with an ordinary D30 next to it on the right. Thornton sub is just out of site over to the right. This is the line that heads south to Drax. It stands next to Sand Lane

There is another one of those Blaw Knox towers near Thornton Substation on one of the lines heading north.

Guess the substation.....
