It certainly is, and my opinion of them still stands. On those screenshots I posted before, there is one site greyed out, Hydebank. The reason for that is it still hasn't opened, 2 years after it was supposed to! If that isn't enough to rankle the drivers in NI, they still have issues with the lifts. 52 of the original 55 were replaced back in 2020/21, and they were replaced with the exact same spec from the same manufacturer. I did some maths and worked out that their entire life cycle (something like 20k-25k operations) would be exhausted in about 18 months. Some of the old ones had over 100k operations, which explains the fatigue fractures they had
