A little more information, gleaned from a conversation with a
staffer from NXEA on the platform at Chelmsford this morning...

In addition to the 3 sets forming the 17.20 that was under the
wires when they came down (apparently getting the cables tangled
around the bogies, possibly the reason for the damage to the
gantries?) four other sets were damaged. The driver of the 17.02
ex-Liverpool Street was the first person to report a problem, and
2 sets on that train and 2 on the 17.12 were also damaged. Those
trains (both 321s) completed their runs but were then taken out
of service; all the damaged sets are now back at Ilford. NXEA are
stating that there will some short-formed trains for the next few
days!
