The bottom one as that’s the only L6, those 2 terminal towers were added much later and are of L12 variant.

pharrc20 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just read over on the FB PAS group that the first L13s have or are being erected near to Quainton on the line from Cowley to Claydon so that's Oxford to East Clayden due to HS2 works. I saw those two new towers from the sole daily train to and from Heysham Port about 2 years ago it seems to be a new substation that one of the circuits feeds into just after leaving the main Heysham L6 substation - I presume it is a feed point for something maybe offshore wind farms?? So they are L12s then I did wonder. Cheers Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any more to send I'd be very grateful as i'm trying to get a collection of L6 technical sheets to help me create some wall posters. I also have a project to create a historical montage of L6 and L9 technical diagrams (including D, D10/30..... etc) , so any help with resources would be greatly appreciated, as I can't seem to find any.

There was originally a D60 there which had quite a height extension. I’m very happy to hear about the new L13s. best regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Is the L6M D tower the same as the BICC L6 tower? I just can’t see any differences, also is there and L6M D90 or would they have used an L8/L12 D90? best regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I just had a look at where these will L13s go. It’s on a Balfour Beatty L6 line. As you can tell I’m quite excited by this and being as it’s parents are the JL EVE L6 they will not look too odd (unlike putting L12s on a quad conductor line and switching them to double and then back to quad). best regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to have any technical sheets for the JL EVE L6 towers?, whilst on the subject of them. Kind regards, Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
