    It wasn't there at 7:20 but I noticed it there (driving inbound) at about 9. Not much help to you I know but it narrows things down.

    It's 80kph from the M50 right up to the M4. It was only a matter of time before they parked there. Good road, probably should be 100kph. I travel it every day and people has passed weel inexcess of the speed limit.

    Yeah, it's there quite regularly. And I once spotted it at that same location but on the outbound side - a hundred meters or so just after the lights, at the end of the 60 zone.

    The older ones do, the newer (08) ones don't.

    Details on these vans can be sketchy, but i'm fairly sure this is true.

    kbannon is right as usual.:)

    The Gatso (Robot is the new name....Gatso is a trade name) can flash if the operator needs it to. Usually the van is parked on a well lit area so there is no need as the camera is infared.

    O and the flash, when activated will only flash when a detected vehicle is travelling away from the van, so as not to blind the driver......and no I dont like the Gatso van before anyone asks:p
