Currently predicted to be next month, Jan.

Which fits with what Keith saw, we still have one month to go before
we have the same 5 months from starting to available he got.

Yes, first visible activity, digging the holes
for the nodes/green boxes was 12-Aug.

> but nothing seems to of moved?

There was lots of visible activity for 3 months. In the first couple
of weeks they were digging the holes for the green boxes with
mid sized trucks and then putting those on their own concrete
pads with multiple poly pipes to the relatively adjacent pillar.

Then for about 2 months after that there were usually white vans
parked near the boxes and monkeys fiddling with the wires in one
end. I spoke to one of them when he was doing that and you could
see that he was terminating the multicore cable on the vertical panel
up the entire narrow section in one of the green boxes. I said 'the
electronics is down there presumably', pointing to the rest of the
box which had the door still closed on it and he said 'yep'.

Sometimes the van was parked beside an existing pit with
a monkey or two in the pit. Wasn't obvious what they were
doing down there when I stopped and talked to one of them.

There hasn't been as much activity in the last month but you
do sometimes see someone down another prexisting pit still.

Some of the pillars still have temporary covers on them,
with long handles right down each side. But at least one
of them actually has the usual lettering on it so it may
not actually be a temporary cover anymore.

Sure, but that is obviously a lot more work that with the NBN.

How long did it take for the existing light rail to get done ?

Not that useful into tho because it went along the old rail
right of way, particularly when it got out past the edge of
the CBD out where the PowerHouse Museum is.
