The limits of high speed current collection on the existing BR network from the point of view of pantograph/overhead stability (TM-VDY-44)

In view of the current interest in establishing a high speed European rail network, a theoretical study has been carried out to investigate the speed capability of BR's electrified rail network, from the point of view of pantograph/overhead dynamics. The two pantographs studied are the BR/Brecknell Willis "Highspeed", which is...
