You may recall how I got wind of the fact that the turbines installed on the new-ish car park at Luton railway station weren’t working, writes Steve Sims.
They’re supposed to be providing 10 per cent of the car park’s energy needs but for months they haven’t budged.
The last I heard from First Capital Connect was that they were investigating, but that was months ago.
The other week I spotted one was finally moving, and yesterday, blow me down, a second was rotating (perhaps they didn’t have enough grease to get the final one going).
And right on cue, I received an update from First Capital Connect’s PR chap, who explained by email: “You may have noticed that two of the turbines at Luton are working again after the maintenance contractors were able to repair them. A third is still out of action waiting for parts.”
