Well, my mistake in counting four keys, my only excuse is I was in a
moving crowd on the platform at the time. We'll have to see how long
it takes to replace the missing ones. I am in London in a couple of
weeks and will make a detour to visit Edware road unless someone can
visit sooner.........

Although unlikely, it may have been that there was on-going track
maintenance where the keys were being replaced. When this happens, there
are often many of the keys missing over a section and the train is
restricted to a temporary speed restriction over that area by a
handsignalman. However they are normally all replaced within a very short
time period (e.g. during that shift).
