67. MML-10.10.18

A beautiful autumn day was forecast, so I took an afternoon off work and went over to the Midland Mainline to see how the electrification was progressing. Like the Great Western it was piecemeal, some parts were well advanced where as at other spots there was little evidence. At Souldrop, a temporary footbridge had been built as once again Network Rail are demolishing the bridge a year or so after it was raised to accommodate the wires, quite why it's being done again is beyond me? The other work taking place was the reinstatement of the second relief line, again in a somewhat random fashion.
