Image Description: after announcements in the media that this street was to be closed to all traffic for the expansion of the Manchester Metrolink light rail network, I started to wonder what would happen to the lighting on this road. There is no mention of the road closure being temporary, so the columns may end up being pulled out. Whilst they're still in place, here's some pictures of the columns with their rare full cut off Eleco golden ray sodium lanterns. The road surface has already been ripped up.

Also included are one or two pictures of the station approach (image 4, 5 and 6)... there is only one entrance and one exit for the time being, as the entire roundabout has been ripped up and the whole road is rebuilt to encorporate the new tram tracks. the station approach also has Eleco GR lanterns in place, as well as some WRTL 2600's running CDM lamps. In the town centre, one major street is only open to traffic in one direction whilst elementary work is done for the tramway... which at the moment includes a massive bore hole in the middle of the road, with a platform around it and drainage pumps working inside it. - this can be seen in the middle distance of the photo (image 7)
