Must say Amey in Sheffield are behaving pretty strange with the signals. They seem to have repainted odd sets of mellors at total random places. Where in other locations they've been completely replaced. Maybe the PFI cost was under estimated so they've prolonged the life of some mellors to save some cash until they get round to replacing them. I can only think they've moved the heads off the column because it shortens the life of it maybe with the extra load?SteelCamel wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 22:22 Even more intriguing is the other end of the junction:
Sept 2014 - the signals are on the old lighting pole
Nov 2015 - mid-replacement. The pole has been replaced and has brackets on, but the signals are on a temporary pole.
Aug 2016 - the signals are now on the new light pole, though the temporary one hasn't been removed yet.
Apr 2017 - all finished
Nov 2020 - for no obvious reason, the signals have been removed from the light pole and put on a separate, new pole.
And just to complete the set, on the other side of the road the signal has been left on the old lighting pole, which has had the top cut off and a new light installed next to it! Who needs consistency?
I know around here where they've moved heads off columns they've replaced the whole lighting column completely with new ones like here and here's afterwards.
