The "memorial", if you want one, is in daily use all over the
system. It's know as "Moorgate Control".

It's actually called TETS Protection (Trains Entering Terminal
Stations).

Is that just within LU or in the wider railway operating world as
well?

Pass. TETS is the official designation within LU and all the
Engineering Standards. It's a variation on TES (Trains Entering
Sidings) which pre-dated the Moorgate crash.

But presumably resulted from the first Tooting siding smash?

Really? When exactly was this average leg articulation determined? Or
did someone make a rough guess of 2 ft some years ago, which sounds so
much more accurate when expressed to the nearest centimetre.

I read about it in Scientific American at least 25 years ago, possibly
more. So you'll have to do your own research beyond that.

This matches the leg articulation for the average adult.
So what's the average adult? Male? Female? Stride length?

Cool. Now there's a word that means you're either over 60 when it was
first used or under 25 now. What goes around, comes around.

Either that or they have been using the internet for longer than most
people. i've no connection with Imperial but know that term of old.
