OK, mega-huge HV lines come in from left. There are 4-wires on each "arm" of the pylon, 3 arms each side, so I'm guessing its the highest of high volts (400,000?)
At the first Pylon, the cables on the south side are carried off to the side, and lower down to the mini-pylon. This is very low. The northern cables carry on as normal to one side of the next main pylon, where they are split and run on to the next pylon as normal (3 each side).
The blue cables - after they go under the other span, they seem to disapear into the ground, presumably a substation.
What sort of area of housing could this feed? A small town? A village? This is next to a village in Pontefract called Upton. Theres lots of little overhead feeds round here, and several of these main line pylons. Where the blue line ends must be where these lines end (i cant see them any further north or east and i travel on high street every day, theres no overheads there). Is it possible to transform straight from 400kv to 400v or will there be underground 11kv feeds to areas of the village? It seems overkill - i was expecting maybe a 33kv feed to the whole village with a couple of 11kv branches.

This is merely to satisfy my own curiosity - I know theres a few ex-DNO (and current DNO) chaps on here. I have never seen this arrangement before.
