    Thameslink must be as no third rail above London core.
    Not sure on Southern routes that go up to Milton Keynes

    Thameslink has third rail & overhead wires in Farringdon Station where the Voltage Changeover takes place
    On the workshop is a Bedford to Brighton route which covers this section

    The trains from the Southern that go to Milton Keynes are units in the 377/2, 377/5 and 377/7 sub-classes are dual-voltage.
    They use the line thru Kensington Olympia and change voltage at North Pole Jn on the North London Line.

    I don't think there is anywhere else that you find Overhead and Third Rail in the UK.
