Comments:One poor old Alpha Four clinging on for dear life! Once the dominant lantern on the Milton Park estate along with the Philips MA. Now just the odd lantern remains here and there. Strange how only one lantern was changed on this double header! The anti pigeon spikes are a nice feature on the LED lantern though...

Sometime you'll see a random HPS/SON lantern here that was seemingly missed/forgotten as part of a LED changeover... I really have no idea why, seems it'd be hard to truly miss one when they're out replacing.

Ahh yes Jay! The SON that got away! We get the odd SON still lurking amidst the LEDs on the motorways here!
