obwan,
When the construction of nPC was underway, someone in the ATC Ops section at EGCC, (allegedly a superb guy who is sadly no longer with us), managed to get hold of the proposed floor-plan/sector lay-out of the new EGPX ops-room.
Said individual, altered the document slightly, adding consoles for EGCC's Approach North, Approach South and Final Director positions into the 'West 2 LAG', the part of the room where MACC would re-locate to.
Several copies of this document were left in the crew-room and placed on notice-boards........Much to the horror of some of the TWR/APC ATCOs!
On a different note, I went to a presentation by a senior member of MAG Ops recently, (the folks who own 'CC, 'SS and 'NX), and he told the audience that the group are very interested in remote/digital tower technology.
