visiting the station I asked and was told that it is called the

Incident Control Point".


On the same subject - why is that bridge covered? Seems no need to have
a tubular bridge especially when it's just outside the entrance to a
very long tunnel

To minimise noise affects on the local residents - it was a condition of
the Act I believe.

John Alexander,

Apparently the gap between the covered bridge and the tunnel portals will
also be covered in before the services commence. I believe a certain MP who
is/was high up in the New Labour camp and whose party Ken Livingstone
recently attended lives on the adjoining estate.
Cheerz,
