Has the Alpha 2 or Alpha 6 ever been used in England « on: April 11, 2025, 06:41:21 PM » Author: Eleco_SR304
Has the Thorn Alpha 2 or Alpha 6 ever been used in the UK? Is there any still today in England? I was just wondering as people don't really photos of the Alpha 2 and 6

Yes, they were used. I'm not AWARE of any survivors that aren't in collections. There is a streetlightonline survivors article about an Alpha 2, and another about a refuse centre (I believe) with an Alpha 6. Here are some catalogues and photographs of some in collections. http://www.simoncornwell.com/lighting/manufact/thorn/cat/cat1972-1/a6.htm http://www.simoncornwell.com/lighting/manufact/thorn/cat/cat1972-1/a2.htm https://streetlightonline.co.uk/a6140igphotos.ht https://streetlightonline.co.uk/a6200igphotos.htm https://streetlightonline.co.uk/a6200rgphotos.htm

I remember the A6’s being used on the M63 while going on a school trip in 1985 😎 Never seen a 2 in use though? 🤔
