That is all.

My guess is TFL owns them (they were directly sued by K&C council on
lack of planning permission for said ugly poles, not the wonderful
private monopoly [1]) and the whole setup would stay in place if/when
the toll ceases if only to feed the spooks and other parties with
info.

[1] Said wonderful monopoly sent out the residents' renewal forms for
2009 just before Christmas. You can't d/l the renewal forms off the
net. "10 working days" will barely make the 7-Jan renewal deadline for
me. Of course I can cheerfully pay for Jan but if they don't sort out
the paperwork I'd be pre-paying for a partly ineligible discount.
Seriously, Manchester has saved itself a bureaucratic nightmare. 1980s
technology and signage in 2008.
