One wonders why the motorman didn't notice there was no signal
at that end of the platform.
You'd think he might have noticed something like that. What did he
do , see there was no signal at all and just thought "ooh , that
must mean green"?


Um, no signal *does* mean green. Unlit signal - not the same thing
- means red.


Having said that, I can't offhand think of any LU station that
doesn't have a starting signal at the end of the platform.


There is a rumour that there was a Fixed Red Light but this was
"bagged" over.


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?????

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