A casualty of Storm Malik [28th-30th January 2022] or Corrie [29th to 31st January 2022] [Comb Hill, 29th Jan 2022, 1600ish and the road's closed] The general opinion was that previous storms had rocked an already weakened pole and Malik/Corrie was the last straw. I think Northern Powergrid replaced more than one pole when dealing with this outage.

Overhead Line damage. On one route over 100 poles were snapped or otherwise damaged enough to require replacement [which involved using the helicopter]. The snow didn't help. Storm Arwen was over 25-27th November 2021. [the strongest gust was 110 mph [96 knots ; 177 km/h in Settle, North Yorkshire] Much of the damage was because the winds were strong northerlies, an unusual direction for the UK, Westerlies are far more common. . . .
