The platform lights were fed from the traction supply so dimmed sharply when a train started away. Of course the platform was empty at that point as the passengers had all got on the departing train but we were changing directions there on the Underground trip in 1970. Colin Rosenstiel I did occasionally use Essex Road Station in those days. I didn't pay attention to esoteric details such as lights dimming but I do remember vividly that the entire line seemed dingy and run down and that all the stations had poor lighting. The line was definitely the poor relation of the London Underground family. What plans exist now for the Northern City Line? |

It seems to be something about Robin's news arrangements because I've seen the effect before and only with his postings. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
