No crossed lines at King's Cross

news Whereabouts were the BT phones? I can't picture them at all. The concourse at Baker St is the sort of place I might have looked, but not down on the tube platforms. They were mounted on a panel, usually together with a chocolate machine. The phones where the ones that took a green phonecard, and that system went out a good number of years ago. They were quite widespread for a time on the platforms, at least in central London. I don't think they were used a lot, partly because there was no acoustic shielding and the noise level on a tube platform makes converstion hard, but they were quite useful for the 'I'll be home in 40 minutes' calls before we all had mobiles.
