Default Gas Pipe into property using old steel pipe.

Hi Folks,
Not really a D-I-Y option but we're looking at getting an old property
connected to the gas. There is what appears to be a steel pipe running
into a corner of the property capped off. I can only think it is an old
gas service that was fitted when gas was run along the street but never
connected up.
Would the gas board (Wales and West) ever use an old pipe such as this
or would they insist on running a new plastic line or even running a
smaller plastic line up the inside of an old steel pipe?

Looks like the neighbours possibly have their gas piped up a similar old
steel pipe.

I'm waiting to hear back from Wales&West but thought someone here might
have come across the same situation.



I have had my gas meter removed.
They were going to charge me rental on it.
I don't use gas.
