Ok, I take argument about crossing 27L, and for us 27L arrivals at night is a very challenging position.

However, perhaps think about this.....

It's a crappy early morning. T4 is chokka. It's dark. You've been airborne for fourteen hours. You come off the runway to hear "Follow the greens". Tell me you'd rather have us reel off a load of taxiways.

Also, it's all or nothing. If you want to get rid of it during good weather at night, you have to get rid of it completely. It's a currency issue, both for us and the Lighting Operators.
