She's calling a cab
He's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag

Hm, good idea, but unlikely - those wires are thinner and come in pairs, and are mounted on the tunnel walls rather than the ceiling

and I’m pretty certain this catenary could not support any upwards force from a pantograph.
I’m guessing that it’s just a trailing segment from the previous station, but that’s a long way away for that. Is it live? Or is it something totally different?

The slowly rotting away National Rail platforms of the Northern City line at Highbury & Islington station, with a very precarious looking piece of catenary hanging from the ceiling. It looks more like a trolley wire and is only a single wire supported by some cable hanging from the ceiling, which isn’t even tense.

Home sweet home!

After winning re-election earlier this month, I am back in seat 31 for legislator orientation.

I'm enjoying meeting all the new legislators am looking forward to the start of the session in January.
