There is no multi towers in operation yet - there a significant difference between individual multiple towers in one RTC(think approaches/sectors in swanwick) and multiple towers combined (oh think again sectors band boxed)

Hmmm nothing new really then! Except it now apparently unsafe - better close swanwick/Prestwick/most towers now then, as they all bandbox- difference is the tech they developing in remote towers will make this even safer.

Remote towers are one example where bean counters - and grumpy, resistant to change, negative ATCOs both actual win, cheaper, smarter and safer.

Just for interest the ATCO in the LFV tower also performs radar from the remote tower. Maybe they just more skilled/capable than some of those negative posters here.
