    4 minute Warning

    Been doing some historical research into where alarms would have gone but have not been able to identify any location. I know they would have been removed now like a lot of other places but does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions.

    Waterloo & City signals

    When LU took over control was from a NX panel then a new control room came in 2007. Does anyone know where the new control room is located, I have been told it's in the depot. The old NX panel is the back up? and is there a maintenance panel somewhere.
