There used to be loads of these here too, all gone now too though Sad
Would these have started life running mercury? All the ones I saw were running SON but it would have been quite a sight to see them all lit with 250/400W MBF!

Reading, Berkshire had these but in 2012 most of them got removed in favour of Urbis Evolo CMH fixtures and now LED Philips Lumas have removed both the Evolos and the last remaining Turtles

@Beta 5, yeah I would imagine so, though i dont think I've e come across any photos of ours running Merc yet. I would like to have seen the ones running SOX in Birmingham!
