You can get a lot of 25 kV line covered from a
single feed.

Like Milton (north of Cambridge) to King's Lynn. Having single feed sections
quite that long has consequences, though.

As a point of information, it's two single feed sections, with a break
at Littleport. One of the reasons for having just one feed each is that
"the grid" is only available at Cambridge and Kings Lynn, and a new
major substation would be required at Littleport.
