What was the final decision to pull the plug on the 405 line system in 1984? I was wandering that as the transmitter infrastructure was still in place and working when switched off whether we could have had a few more years of 405 transmission (may be up to the 1990's) I think we should have had a much longer transition period before 625 analogue was switched off in 2012.
