The green roof is at the new Northern Line control centre. I've seen a
photo of it.

I've been in the old one, at Euston, about 20 years ago. Was any attempt
made to preserve anything from the old control room?


Oh it's all preserved and still in daily use to run the Victoria and
Northern Lines!


Arguably, it *hasn't* been preserved and is still in daily use to run the
Victoria and Northern Lines!


Arguably my comment was tongue in cheek and perhaps a reference to the
fact that I doubt it has changed much since Roland visited it 20 years
ago.

sheesh!
