Yes.
There was also another one in Scotland.

Indeed. However I would suggest a trip to

Check out what's scheduled for the next 3 months in LS10. That's a lot of civil engineering, which is where the costs are, getting the ducts in the ground, not what is going in them.
Middleton is being built as HFC. Very good HFC, 1.2GHz plant, field upgradable from it's current full DOCSIS 3.0 return path subsplit of 85MHz to the full DOCSIS 3.1 high subsplit, but HFC. The VoIP service that is required for RFoG/FTTP isn't out there yet.
Can't really discuss beyond that.
