Re: M60 Lighting.
Returning through the Stockport section that night, the stretch of SOX at J1 (Town centre), was showing early signs of failure, with several lanterns out. Unless the bulk relamping teams are behind schedule, I do wonder if SOX lighting here is destined to go the same way, as on the erstwhile M67 towards Hyde.Since this report was posted, the central res' stretch of MA SOX at J1, continued on a spiral of decline, with more lanterns increasingly out of use.
However, following a late night return home on Sat 22nd Dec, I am pleased to report that the whole stretch seems to have been bulk relamped, with all the lanterns back in full glow.
I wonder if the HA are using up their remaining stocks of SOX lamps on the M60?
If I get the chance over Christmas, I'm going to try and get some pics whilst the lamps are still fresh.
Anyway, well done HA.
