  1. More #OLEBook updates as I fly through the Lune Valley...

  2. Another day out by rail, so having yet another go at getting the new Discontinuous Electrification (DE) and battery trains section of the #OLEBook right. I think I'm on the home stretch now! #thiswritinglife

  3. Having a day out meandering down to Cornwall - a good opportunity to get stuck in to the next version of the #OLEbook and a big new section on discontinuous electrification and battery trains. #ThisWritingLife

  4. It's official: I'm Back On My Bullshit, drafting the isolation section for the next version of the #OLEbook while on a day out on the train.

  5. I have picked up my metaphorical pen and begun the process of creating the 7th edition of my #OLEBook

  6. Welcome to another #RailwaysExplained thread... this one is another port over from the Site We Don't Mention. More to come!

    HOW IT WORKS - TROLLEY OVERHEAD LINE

    Back in 2019 I visited Beamish Museum, and used what I learned there to write about Trolley #OLE for the #OLEbook 6th edition.

    HOW IT WORKS - SPARK GAPS AND SURGE ARRESTERS

    One of the things that I spent a lot of time on back in 2019 was sourcing good quality images for the #OLEbook - getting the more obscure stuff from publicly accessible places was quite hard.

    That's why I had to go all the way to North East England to hunt down this Spark Gap on the Tyne & Wear Metro

    Ok so I overshot my planned stop at Sargans. Never mind, might as well continue to Landquart and pay homage to the lovely electrified roundhouse which the lovely @[email protected] photographed and which appears in the #OLEbook. Can just see it from the platform.
