leaving Northchurch Tunnel.

An example showing the realistic wires which 'sag' between the
supports, and 'zig-zag' across the track in the High Detail
route; the location being between Cheddington and Leighton
Buzzard.

A Neutral Section gantry, near Leighton Buzzard station. Note
the overhead equipment including ceramic bead insulators
embedded in the contact wire, and the yellow APC (Automatic
Power Control) magnets on the sleepers.
