For anyone interested this is a great video documenting the electrification of the WCML. A lot of the equipment and substations are almost unchanged today:

At least it didn't catch fire like the one just north of Stafford a few years back.
Happened to me and a mate working it approaching Wembley a year or so ago, one of the hydraulic hoses burst dropping fluid onto the bogies and brake gear below, the driver on a passing unit saw the smoke and rang the Bobbie to get us stopped. Made more than twelve hours that day! Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
