Returning to this topic rather belatedly ...

2. No OLE?
4. Routes that were due to be equipped with OHL electric but where the scheme was curtailed before completion. P
Both good thoughts but not what I had in mind, which is much more immediate. I should add to both lists "and only these lines / route" - both are intended to be complete lists within the GWR operational area, and there is something of a similarity (though opposite) in the two lists.
