It’s a trap lads, a £11M upgrade and you still end up on the Wirral

Hi Neil.

Hi Neil.

All right Carlos.
Don’t end up on the Wirral lad.
It’s Cowboy country over there.

Moaning for moanings sake.
The work needed doing.
It's done.

Move on to the next gripe.

I’m saying nothing until @davek has returned from his holiday and given his opinion(s) on this matter.

1990s Corpy where the best...Modern day Corpy are crap.

We should Corpy Top Trumps...see which eras Corpy was the best.

LEDs have a higher capex (capital expenditure, as they cost more) but have a lower running cost and much longer lifetime (25 years). So think of it over the lifetime of the installation.

Also the upgrade wasn't limited to lighting as illustrated here.

Look inside Birkenhead Tunnel's £11m makeover

The tunnel is undergoing 18 months of improvement works to upgrade lighting

They appear to be doing drainage + electrical works and road repairing too

Our new LED street lights on Southport are garbage. The light they emit is pathetic compared to the old ones!!

Does that relate to my post at all?

"Anyone seen this?"

Aye, its been going on for months. The new lights are much better, as annoying as the closures have been.

Over a 1000 lights to be changed and with them being in tunnels its not a standard fitting.

A few hundred new distribution boards and plenty of new cabling with containment.

It's not a rip off at all.

The new lights aren't as horrible on your eyes either.

Anyone who does a night time trip through the tunnels will testify the difference

Yes.

 

[Damo_1878]

Yes.

No it doesn't. I didn't mention the quality of LED light

Lights are now directional to reduce light pollution by the way

 

[Rita_Poon]

isn't all light directional?
