Surely the Camden town junctions don't allow trains in opposite

to meet, thats the whole point of all the branch tunnels...

The Service (Line) Controller made a Code Red to the trains in the
area.

It was a re-numbering of trains that didn't quite go to plan.


Presumably a 'Code Red' is an emergency stop. Does a 'renumbering' include
trains reversing short of original destination or something? Was this as
scary as the BBC suggest then, or was it protected by the signalling system?
