I was just wondering. When any metro\NR\tram systems are not in use overnight, are they ever switched off?

I'm sure your question is perfectly innocent but that's information that could be very useful to undesirables so I'm locking this thread. Sorry!

I'm sure your question is perfectly innocent but that's information that could be very useful to undesirables so I'm locking this thread. Sorry! If I can briefly use Head Mods 'perks' (if you like) to reply after a thread lock - yes: there was a vicinal that would switch off current for the annual sheep fair. There is also a (very apocryphal) story about an interurban that was the current supply for the local penitentiary, and on certain days the current would need to be switched on early to supply the electric chair. I'd also better make passing reference to Wm. Traill and his live underpants... (read the inspection report for the Giant's Causeway Tramway - the nearest Ireland got to an Interurban). To answer the original question - it is very much a matter for each electrified railway to decide - all electrified railways are sectionalised (LT/LPTB resectionalised in the early 70s IIRC) so there is always the ability to isolate. |
