I do believe that at the moment 5 GW capacity undersea cables are being installed down the east coast, though I'm not certain of the cost. There have been reports that a shoal of Cod raised complaints

I think that's a misquote.

The problem is that undersea cables are at risk of being damaged. The east-coast route will lie on top of a number of existing cables between offshore wind-turbines and the shore. That makes it very expensive to repair damages. Essentially the marine cables are uninsurable.

Or, as the engineers' report stated, any claim would be dismissed as "an Act of Cod".

I'd be interested to know if those pylons (aka Transmission Towers) are made from Port Talbot steel.

That did occur to me too 🙂

Did you train spot much as a lad Transparent? 🤓 🤣

No, not a train spotter, @bontwoody
... but I did commute to school by train pulled by a steam loco. 🤓 

Can I please provide a link to a particularly good map of the British Electricity Supply Network by the Global Energy Network Institute.
It's at a nice high resolution.

Open the page, then click on the fuzzy map at the top.
It will open up into an in-focus version.

The best set of High-res maps from National Grid themselves are in a group of Power Flow diagrams to illustrate Future Energy Scenarios.

@transparent Would that be a 4-6-0 or 4-6-2? 😆 

I'll see if i can get a nice high res print of the map. 🤣

It was 4-6-2 @bontwoody
4-6-0 was used for Hogwarts.

@transparent I’m not a trainspotter either but used to travel from Yeovil Junction to Exeter Central behind the Sir Winston Churchill to attend my boarding school. Toodles.

Toodles, he heats his home with cold draughts and cooks his food with magnets.

I'm not.
But Hogwarts was one of our main rivals.
We used to pass them en-route to Kings Cross.

You could easily identify them from their chant:
"Come on Hogwarts: Four-Six-Oh
Training is the way to go".

I wasn't particularly good at sports like Quidditch, but I did meet Hogwarts Teams at academic challenge days.
We usually trounced them at Science and Maths, but then lost to them at English.
Our grammar and comprehension was OK, but they were better spellers.
