BT cabinets are/used to be cast - so it may be a Virgin (NTL/Telewest) one
as they are pretty flimsy pressed steel. Of course it could be a traffic
lights control, etc, etc. My image enhancing software only makes the pixels
bigger - oh, for the Hollywood option:-)

I'm guessing from the name of it that it's a decent resolution so put
it somewhere that doesn't limit the size, like photobucket or
imageshack etc...

Yeah sorry about that, the picture is taken at higher resolution but the
Photobox/Orange thing will only display it as a preview unless you're
logged in, despite it being a publically shared album...

Deffo not traffic lights; the box is situated just off a roundabout (I
guess the bus tried to go round too fast...), on the road to the
Comcast/NTL/Virgin Media office on Teesside.

Photobucket; good point:

It was taken with my old Nokia 6680 so it's not the best quality...

I'd hazard a guess at it being Virgin rather than ours (BT). Here's a BT cab
job that I got called out on at about 6.00am after local vandals had been at
it:

I've asked for it to be checked out, just in case.

And do you have a nearby postcode or exact street details on it to
help the guys track it down if it is one of ours? Feel free to mail
if you want
