The "memorial", if you want one, is in daily use all over the
system. It's know as "Moorgate Control".

It's actually called TETS Protection (Trains Entering Terminal
Stations).

Is that just within LU or in the wider railway operating world as
well?

Pass. TETS is the official designation within LU and all the
Engineering Standards. It's a variation on TES (Trains Entering
Sidings) which pre-dated the Moorgate crash.

But presumably resulted from the first Tooting siding smash?

The second, actually. The first was considered such a one off they
thought it would never happen again, only to be proved wrong 11 years
later. Then the plan to install speed controlled trainstops in tunnel
sidings started, only to be extended to outdoor sidings after an
accident in Rayners Lane siding in 1972. Of course, no-one ever
thought a driver would fail to stop in a terminal platform, yet thirty
years ago today the unthinkable did happen.
