The covers are off the lights near Abingdon Bridge. AbITs is fully up and working. It has been done at the start of the school holidays, so this is not a proper test. We won’t really know until 2007.

So far, things have not worked well at peak times. Hold-ups soon lead to major queues. It may be scaring people away from town, and so undoing any planned for good effects – improving the ‘shopping experience’ and bringing people into Abingdon.
