Those gantries and power lines are the overhead supply for trains running on the East Coast Main Line. The railway passes right next to the 1970's area of Copmanthorpe - and so at night, the mercury streetlights act as a beacon to passengers on the train to indicate only another 5 minutes left on the train until York station.
