We all needed to adopt short-hand when it
came to listing stations. Almost standard was the adoption of the
old LBSC telegraphic codes for stations in Room 84's area (some sections of
route originally shared with the SECR, LSWR, WLR, WLER and LNWR plus stations on the East
London Line (ELL) - now part of London Underground - but over which many of us
sent and received trains.
There is even a special call sign for the Royal Train.
