There is a rumour that there was a Fixed Red Light but this was

In a post elsewhere in this thread, I said that there is a "STOP"
disc on the tunnel wall at the southbound end of the High Barnet
northbound platform at Camden Town. When I looked more carefully
at the photo I took this afternoon, I noticed that there is indeed
an object just north of the Stop disc that seems to have a plastic
bag over it. Is this perhaps the fixed red light that you
mentioned? Anyone know how long it has been like that?

There was a rumour going round that a FRL had indeed been bagged
over (probably a wiring fault that is too expensive for Tube Lines
- who are worse than Metromess- to repair). I wonder if there was
a trainstop to go with the FRL?????

Sorry, I forgot to look. The original photo is very grainy when
enhanced, but I can't see any sign of a trainstop (it would be on the
other side of the track to the bagged "signal" of course).

Hopefully the Train Operator won't be sacked but either put on a
Corrective Action Plan or at very worst reduced in grade.

Is that comment based on knowledge that hasn't been revealed here of why
he did what he did? If not, then surely at the very worst he was
grossly negligent and would need to be sacked. I'm not saying that is
the case, as there might be mitigating circumstances, but there are
serious issues of public safety here that override any considerations of
sympathy with an individual's career.
