400kV substation There are two 400kV circuits on the pylon, which forms part of the route from Cottam Power Station to Wymondley Substation. On one side (the furthest side here) the three phases are tapped off and dropped to this substation, which converts them to two 25kV single phase feeds for the railway. These two feeds are cabled to an autotransformer at Essendine, where they are combined in a complex autotransformer, and then coupled again to the 25kV overhead lines for the East Coast Main Line.

This seems to replace the original 25kV link from Bourne West (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6695800">TF0619 : Substation transformer</a>) to Little Bytham (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6945830">TF0117 : 25kV in the garden</a>), but that has not been dismantled.
