Station master??? What is this 1950???
let me be clear. I am not and will never ask anyone on here to spec any job for me. This is just for switching ideas. As I am sure you all really know anyway.

Few issues here...from 6am to 8pm, there will be thousands of people using this corridor. So pirs are just a waste of money for the last 4 hours of service, until tube goes 24hours. CCTV requires minimal light for security/safety. If I remember correctly, there is a emergency lighting controller monitoring all light fittings, but its now obsolete (old Trident IAS). So problem is you can`t realy turn lighting off. Only suggest already given to LUL, is 50% dimming via pirs, during low passenger levels.
I was under the impression this was an auxillary corridor only used during peak times so it is only operational for a few hours a day.

Peak times on tube are 6am to 8pm, where every possible corridor and exit are open

In the early 90's I worked on the Fire Detection/Protection Fast Track Project at Knightsbridge and another station and there was a lot high Tech guys involved, Engineers I would imagine.

That was one hell of a learning curve for LUL...within months they started new procedures and new fire alarm equipment to prevent it ever happening again, and give the best possible early warning

New spec should be for updated self testing Advanced Lite panel...same as St pancras and Kings Cross

That started with a smoke dropping in the oil trays under the escalators. Bloke with me only wanted to be a key holder to he could search the trays for money while he was making off piro ends.

The escalator problem should have been forseen imo.......wooden construction, oil dust, they have been cleaning the tracks every night for years, to prevent dust fires. They fit zoned copper heat trace cables on all escalators pits now, to give that vital early warning.

He was in his 40's, slim, dark hair and had a flat nose where it had been broke, spoke like a northerner and was doing his City & Guilds at night college, he wasn't a bad worker either but I used to take the p*ss out of him because I was only in my 20's at the time.
He was a tight git as well.
So does it sound like Tel ? lol

Why is this even being discussed? The lights have to remain on for security monitoring, that's why they're not already switched.
LUL/TfL will spec what is to be fitted, where, how, when and by whom and they will have an input into this. They'll even spec what colour the powder coating is on the containment so the likelyhood of them asking a contractor for ideas is pretty slim.
Sorry but I'm calling bull**** on this one. Peep Peep Thomas.

I really do not understand why I would lie about this. What is the point? I was asking for alternative ideas as I do not 'know it all'.
I am a specialist railway contractor. Can I ask what you do Trev. I am interested to know what gives you the right to question my word?
