What happens when National Grid power lines cross?

 Just outside Great Orton, two sets of power lines cross each other. If you look at the pylon on the right in the picture, there are lines coming into it from behind and then they stop. The lines are sent into the ground and go underground beneath the cables shown.

They emerge later at the pylon below. There are shielding grids between the down-cables.

I've tried to find out more about these pylons but the best I have found so far is here.
