Tom Anderson writes
I'll guess Moorgate; the term 'Moorgate control' is now used in describing
some sort of fail-safe signalling thingummajig,
Timed train-stops to ensure a train speed is reduced.
so you might expect it to
be in the dictionary.
No, it's railway jargon. I wouldn't expect "Welwyn Control", or the
