I don't see how EWS can claim anything anymore.
Is it not DB Shenker?

It wasn't at the time, so no. "DB Schenker" weren't involved, if you like.

Either way, I hope you aren't trolling. =/

Forgive my ignorance but what is "trolling" ?

Making an off-topic comment purely to provoke a negative response / arguement, or to derail the thread for no real reason except to score points.

Not to say he is, but, anyway.

I don't understand this as the Metrolink handbook states that the overhead wires in the City Centre section are actually higher with a nominal height of 5500mm above the roadway. I assume this is to cater for high road vehicles such as double-decker buses.

Sorry, quite right!

I should have explained myself more clearly really. What I had in mind specifically was Victoria station, which any Pacer would have to pass under to get to the city centre.

If you look at the OHL at Victoria, it's pretty clear no main line train could reasonably fit under it, at least to me. It looks *very* low IMO.
