Mr Approach,
Bear in mind that HD's experience is at Heathrow, where we have selectable green centrelines and red stop bars on taxiways at night and in poor vis, and each Ground controller is aided by a Lighting Operator who selects those green lights.
Therefore, all the controller has to say is: 'Follow the greens' rather than: 'Turn left on Alpha, right on Bravo and hold short of Charlie etc etc'......Something we consistently receive very good feedback on from foreign crews (far easier to understand for those of limited English ability), and also our based crews after a long, overnight sector
