I’ve noticed recently that on my local route, which is split registration (I think this is the term?) but operates as far as the passenger is concerned as a through journey, if my journey spans the two parts of the route, when I go to tap off I get a message saying ‘tap off invalid’. Is the...

Channel 4 show The Tube (1980s) featured a few bands playing in the location in the clip below. I’m assuming it’s in London but I could be wrong. Can anyone identify it? (1:25ish onwards.) Edit: further shots in this clip:
