General One for the VM gurus

3.45 am, and I count 7 VM vans, a few people standing talking, I took a pic of some of them, but one guy started walking towards me so didnt take a pic of the rest.

No idea what they doing but here is some information.

2 days ago 2 vans were parked near their cabinet across the road (ironically next to a BT cab) it was opena dn doing some work.

Earlier tonight was an alarm going off I walked to investigate and another VM cabinet around the corner from me (this seems new dont remember it been there before) was some VM chaps working one had a blue LCD display planel conntec to the equipment inside, I only was there to ask if they knew where the alarm was coming from and apparently the road had a power cut.

Finally right now, is a load of VM peeps on my road, the vans across the road, and my side of the road they have a pot hole open and doing some hammering inside

Thoughts

Is this possible actual upgrades for my area (I dont have VM) or likely repair work or something?

Tell them to keep the noise down ..

heh that hammer stopped now, also attached image now.

1 - it might actually be openreach, as the vehicles are surrounding the openreach cab, the cab in the foreground is VM's.
2 - the picture I had to shrink 4x. but even at full resolution it came out very poor detail from my s5, something is going on with my s5 camera I think as used to be better quality, sorry.

spoke to one of the guys is not openreach or VM its the electric company, 150 houses lost power starting from 2 doors from me.

No picture on this thread, get out of bed and upload it!

the pic is useless now so I removed it, as they were power company vans.

if you curious power is still down, they had to stop as its a main road.

What made you think they were VM vans to begin with?

Chrysalis · 03-07-2015, 22:24

I assumed they were as there has been VM work been done around the area in the last few days and only an hour or so earlier they were working on a cabinet around the corner.

Bear in mind I could only see either the front or back of the vans due to where they were parked so wasnt able to see the logos on the side.

Title updated, I dont see what this is to do with Ignition, Im not sure its even related to VM.

Chrysalis · 04-07-2015, 09:36

I tried to update it before after I realised it was nothing to do with VM but the title was stuck, ignition was mentioned originally as he knows a lot about VM inner workings.

In fact I am not bothered if you even delete the thread, as the only bit related to VM was those guys working on the cabinet around the corner which noone has commented on.
