Chris, Pretty sure you can't use the allowance of the second one on the ECC for the first one I'm afraid.

I’ve tried asking OR directly but they don’t seem to know, or at least I’ve found myself banging my head on a brick wall before I was able to speak to someone with any clue. We’ve ordered a circuit which is going to incur significant ECC’s, I’m expecting in the order of £10k (on top of the £2.8k-ish allowance) I need to order a second circuit out of the same site to a different destination. Obviously once the first one is connected the construction of the route to the site will be complete and it will just be a case of splicing up a new core (there is fibre present at the other end already). OR give an allowance towards construction costs when a circuit is ordered. When the second circuit is ordered the majority of this will be wasted because all the work will have already been done. Is there some way of combining the two orders such that I can make use of the allowance on both circuits against the overall ECC? To be clear, both circuits are ’normal’ EAD (not ‘local access' or ‘long reach’) and both share a common A end. It’s almost as if I should order this as a resilient circuit somehow, although I’m not too concerned if the two circuits share any physical route. I have CP status with OR so I’m working directly with EMP. Any pearls of wisdom gratefully received! Thanks, Chris
