8 year old me with a picture of an L3 D60 on Route XEA (Brinsworth - Thurcroft - Conisborough Tee) that I had taken with my first iPad!

Popped around my local area and I thought it’d be funny to do this photo in front of a NIMBY poster.

Saw this new NIMBY poster recently put up in my local area a few days ago.

This is the scarring and destruction of a lot of agricultural land by a Six-Circuit 220kV Underground Cable in North Lincolnshire to cut corners with Planning Permission. Here is a comparison of the land impact of a 400kV Overhead Line vs a 400kV Underground Cable corridor.

The perfect tower for The Great Grid Upgrade, the L13. It is the heaviest 400kV tower in the class but it is the same type of steel used for the L12 but is thicker to accommodate some of the heaviest mechanical loads out there. It is easy to assemble however and a perfect time to futureproof.
