Q.: As views on the essentials of the event, namely isolators and wires, remained scarce, I have no idea so far whyt of the two RZD voltages is being used, 3kV dc or 25 kV 50cps ac ?

Any information around ?

Kind regards

Hope this won't be deemed a "suspicious activity" ... well, do the wires still hang over the Tumbler Ridge Branch ? Operational now and then ?

In general, an alleged downturn of economy won't help the case for electrification, either.

Hard to swallow. Where the heck is the *real* problem ? Stronger power surges of new trains ? In lieu of official reading, I'd say the energy consumption will remain roughly the very same.

Because of the fragmentation of the railway following the botched privatisation, a totally out of control and unaccountable Health and Safety bureacracy imposing gold plated safety rules, and complete lack of cost management on behalf of Network Rail, all infrastructure projects are now costing three or four times what they should. This has killed a lot of projects.

An awful lot of people need to go up against the wall when the revolution comes...

PFM pestering ya again - is that latest gap bridged with 3 kV dc or 25 kV ac ?

How many electrical system changes are now deemed normal on the "Transsib" ?

I have no idea. Where would the details be published (other than in Russian)?
