Does anyone have any close up pics of the control desks & diagram panels?

having spent some time training at earls court ican describe the changes since those pictures were taken. the gaps in betweenthe desks have been filled in with a continuous curved desk thus providing more desk area, the lower half of te diagram has been replaced with new shiner panels as the old ones were nicotine stained, the chairs have been replaced by by leather office types,the flooring is now in the form of carpet tiling, the ceiling has a circular skin, all clocks are now led type, finally on theright hand side, the cockfosters/arnos grove equipment has been removed now used by the tubelines train doctor) and the diagram is a sleek black dot matrix panel which curves along like the other diagrams and shows trains in the form of thier set number rather than just a block. hth

I've got a few photos from about seven years or so ago, but they're about 900 miles away from me right now.

[Tom]

I remember the first batch of replacements they got in reflected the light and were exchanged for the old nicotine ones again. I wonder what happened to them?
