Yes, I have mentioned these Alpha3s on here before. They were still there in 2009.

It looks like they saw out 2012 too.

However, it looks like they were being replaced early in 2013.

Noticed today the Tamlite Tamcourt lanterns at Kew Gardens tube/Overground station have been retrofitted with Urbis Axias, which were all dayburning!

Neath railway station actually has two SOX Thorn Beta 2s on a column on the platform - I had to look twice to check! The other lanterns were SRL8s.

Batley has a Phillips FGS 103 lantern on the Leeds bound platform, the rest are Beta 79s. Some railway station lighting is being upgraded from SON to MH. Brighouse is starting to look interesting as six of the lanterns now run MH, the rest run SON and two lanterns don't work.

I do recall seeing one station between Chichester and Portsmouth retaining the Network South East standard GEC fluorescent, the only problem is, is that I can't remember the station.

I think it is Fishbourne. Looking at photos online there are still 4 or 5 GECs there.

The Eleco "Railway" open GLS lanterns lighting sidings at Basingstoke next to the Reading line have been replaced with new Abacus galvanised fold down columns and ZXU1s.

North Acton station has these Philips post-tops.

Ladbroke Grove station on the Circle and Hammersmith and City London Underground lines has been relit with Thorn Celests!. Westbound Park, the next station along, is lit with Holophane Denver Poles.

I don't know about stations in the whole of Scotland, but certainly in the Strathclyde area there's very little variety - most of the time it's just WRTL Vectras on a twin post, very close together.

I noticed some railway stations in east Cornwall have had the black Urbis ZX 1s replaced (which ran metal halide) with LED Urbis Axias - I may be able to get a picture at some point. I guess they will eventually do this to all the railway stations near here.
