Default Underground data plates

In article ,

Nobody uses roods or rods
any more, cables are nautical, and while mainline railways use the 22
yard chain, LUL does not.

Does not now but were all the old markers (presumably in miles and 22 yard
chains) removed when kilometrage was adopted?


If you know where to look you can occasionally see the old mileposts.

However, that's irrelevant to my original enquiry, which is about
*modern* data plates. Given that the plate says it's 54.132km (from
Ongar), claiming that it's using roods and chains is a complete
nonsense.

Does nobody here know what these plates are actually showing?
