I'm sure there are two at each of those locations what is called entrance and exit gates. As you say decommissioned I seem to remember that the signals have now been renumbered fairly recently.

At the Oval no round buildings as such but they did make use of a shaft for ventilation purposes Across from the station is the triangle bit you will see a sort of circular building. At Chancery Lane you can see one of the buildings but it does not look like the Northern line ones a lifting...

No I did not forget them I deliberately left them out to see if you would notice. We won't mention Oval as they never finished not much really done. 1708334649 Railway Operating Department.

The amount of doors on lots of stations have those markings Private ROD if you know what ROD means you might get promotion!

No I don't have any keys station staff at Charing cross would have keys for the door from the station but it would not get you very far. As far as I can remember the station fire plans used to have the entrance marked on it used to say Whitehall tunnel but I suspect they may have removed this...

You forgot Goodge St and on the Central line Chancery Lane. 1708184582 Re the connection at Charing Cross it is still there and in more than one place if you know where to look. 1708184739 You are right about various safety reasons and all that but there is a tunnel at Charing Cross. Before...

Yes you are right not quite the same. I went on the East London Line walk very good, I also did a walk many moons ago when the LURS had a tunnel visit to various sites Belsize Park and Brixton being just two of them.

Those sites you mention I think you are right they wont be done. Your mention of Plessey Factory is there another one as I thought they used the running tunnels and apart from surface buildings that was it although you could say I suppose that they are being done every day as long as you are on...

The book War and Order: Researching State Structures you wrote a chapter for I have a copy a very good read full of information although I'm sure the locations have changed somewhat. I'll send you a PM.

No it has not been dubbed this is at Victoria and they had an audible warning to say that the doors were about to close I seem to remember that it could be worked by staff or work automatically. There was another location which escapes me.

Hoping someone can help something that has been bugging me is shunt signal WF130 (outlet) from No 8 siding. When the siding was commissioned in 1958 the signal number was WF13. When programmes machines came in 1960 the sidings were renumbered and No 8 became No 28. A number of years later WF13...

It was always going to happen just under a another name. I remember when they were going to start Action Stations the GSM designate a railway person for years before there was an issue with the clock at Harrow on the Hill, he told a member of staff to go and get a battery clock which they did...

Thanks for all your replies I had forgotten about Action Stations which was meant to be trialled on the Met north if I remember. I also don't remember R19 but with LU you just don't know.

I am after a chart or whatever form it comes in but yes which grade title to which R Grade. Thanks I looked at my post and it seemed wrong must be weather related.

Can anyone help in the 1980/90 the grading for managers used R now they use Q as well as others. Does anyone have who was in which grade R1 was high up where as R18 was a Duty Station manager. Hope this is clear.

Thanks for this.

Thanks to everyone very helpful. 1668419953 I remember when I worked in planning there were station plans for the Chelsea-Hackney line. 1668420013 I shall have to check Geoff's YouTube videos. 1668420112 I remember working at the Elephant Bakerloo side where the staff would race up and down...

Is there a list of how many steps there are at each lift station. I have seen the map TfL produced but I mean the stairs that are in a separate shaft even closed stations if possible. TIA

Thanks I should have said Bakerloo adding another line after checking my notes on the Northern there are 118 RGIs and 2 RGIR.

Even if it lights up just as you get to it? I seem to remember being taught if you can't stop in time to shut off and coast into the next section. 1639592537 I thought there was more but on checking there are 31 RGIs and like you say 1 RGIR.
