Electrification
"The route was electrified at 25 kV AC overhead in 1979."

Something wrong here - the line was electrified long before this. Certainly before 1973, which was when I first travelled on it. C0pernicus 22:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The statement is perfectly accurate. What is missing is a statement to say that prior to this it has been electrified at 6.25kV a.c. (1960's) and 1500V d.c. (1950's). Canterberry 12:49, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

''Reverted edit by [User:C0pernicus] due to a lack of references/citations for electrification ... its unsubstantiated.''


 * But now the page is misleading, since you seem happier to imply that electrification happened for the first time in 1979. C0pernicus 10:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Unless you can provide evidence (i.e. a reference or citation) of the dates for previous electrification, then all we can do is add a statement that it was previously electrified at other voltages. Sorry to be pedantic, but thats the Wikipedia way. Canterberry 12:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
