I'll guess Moorgate; the term 'Moorgate control' is now used in describing
some sort of fail-safe signalling thingummajig, so you might expect it to
be in the dictionary. When Moorgate happened, it was a LU-operated line;
it's now NR. You could still argue that Moorgate station is 'part of the
London Underground system', though.

Also, do you know for certain that there are no other mentions of tube
disasters in the OED?
