Following on from the part night photocells Broadgage mentions, it would be clever if they learnt not only when the clocks change but which day of the week it is, so they can keep the lights on longer for the Friday/Saturday night revellers. 

I don't know how much cleverness was specified for the lights at Wokingham station, but for the last few days they've all been on all morning (at least). And that includes most - but not all, for some reason - of the lights in Station Approach and the "north" (really south) car park.

I can remember in BR (British Rail(ways)) days in the 1970/80s the job sheet that came out twice a year to adjust the solar time clocks for lighting at stations and depots, the time clocks did not adjust themselves for daylight saving
