I'm falling asleep
She's calling a cab
He's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Mr Brightside's coming to town.

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 Iโ€™m pretty certain this catenary could not support any upwards force from a pantograph.
Iโ€™m guessing that itโ€™s just a trailing segment from the previous station, but thatโ€™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 isnโ€™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.
