Yes indeedy powered by two generators one either side of the road. Ah! So it wasn't the device itself (the road heating) that was noisy. It was merely the means of powering it. I was going to suggest something along these lines but I thought "that's not noisy". If they'd powered it from the National Grid then it would have been silent. If it had been on the National Grid it wouldn't have been such a bleedin' stupid idea. Presumably the generators were behind doors at the roadside (I can't be bothered to drive the massive round journey to have a quick glimpse), in which case whoever had the job of switching them on would have to park in the underpass twice. Or is there a pedestrian access? (My info so far is from "Hook Remembered" and "Hook Remembered Again" by Mark Davison). -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
