Will the Test Track then be joining the select stretches of line with
third and fourth rail electrification plus 25kV overhead, as a fully
featured test track for the UK, or (more probable I guess) will the
overhead be decommissioned ?

Contrary to the cynics, the 25kv system will be retained. Common sense
not too. For once, joined up thinking by the rail industry.

By doing so Metronet can hire the track to others, inc Virgin when it
finally adds more Pendolino carriages.

That's some sensible news for once, thankyou for passing it on !
