Now if NR bought cable with tinned copper cores, works just as well, if NOT better, but has a fraction of the Scrap vaule.

Greenford Box had 'life extension' work carried out last year so expect to see them for a while.  For the amount of work carried out I'm surprised they weren't replaced with colour lights.
