Large electricity pylon alongside guided busway
Cycling alongside the guided busway I was struck by how much more heavily engineered this pylon was compared with the preceding one. Getting closer the reason became clear: it was at the end of a section with all cables going down to a substation rather than continuing to another pylon. The extra strength was needed to counter-act the unbalanced load imposed by the cables. In the distance is the A14 bridge.
