Perhaps buses are to be included into the definition, the way sub-surface railways et al. have been.

Watching this week’s episode they were showing Network Control Centre.Does this replace the HQ Controller that was based at 55 Bdy?

HQ controller is before my time, and I started on LU in 2001!
that being said, I would suggest the answer yes.
The Network Control Centre (not that they actually control anything, other than the Network Incident Response Managers) is now based at Southwark and shares floor space with the British Transport Police control room, LU power control and LU track access control.
As for the programme itself, it was marginally better this week but still falls short of previous series IMO.

I don't mind the program, but it really annoys me with the constant flitting between 'story arcs'.

Also agree. Plus the narrative implies all the problems are concurrent, but they aren't. Typical TV programme camping up for over-dramatisation.
