    OK, so as I suspected, what you are describing are 'guard rails' not 'check rails'. A commonly misunderstood term!

    An email from the EMTHT this evening says that the National Grid will be connecting Hotchley Hill box and Rushcliffe Halt to mains power shortly, with the work expected to be finished by the Summer. This is great news and puts us a step closer to having a couple of block sections north of Loughborough.
