Are you saying that telephone wires in the UK always require separate poles

I thought they picked up hum if they ran parallel to an electricity

Telephone pairs are balanced and should be relatively immune to picking up
hum.

Unlike the bodge that was the BT three wire house wiring. That is
excellent at picking up induced signals.
