Feasibility study into raising and lowering pantographs while trains are in motion (T778)
This research aimed to establish the acceptability of pantograph raising and lowering on the GB railway. This would allow, in regular operation of electric hybrid trains to traverse discontinuities in contact wire, which could enable simplification and cost reduction of the overhead line electrification (OLE) layout.
