For those who work ,

[Malc]

In the 60's I worked in the BH area & TC

Ha! our paths may well have crossed ! So did I, VT under the fountain of TC, and in the BH area (next door, Henry Wood House  to be precise. )
TC shift working (7 days per 2weeks rolling roster)was ok because I didnt have to travel in the rush, but then made the mistake of getting promoted into P&ID(TelRec), offices at HW which was 5days a week in and out with the rush which was no fun so I got out in '69 and moved to BAe in Bristol.

Reason I mentioned BBC in my op was to continue to be amused that keeping the masses entertained was(is) considered more important than travel infrastructure 

x marks the spot of one of my Xmas', on a bleak Scottish hillside known as Kirk o' Shotts BBC Band 1 405line Tx, no fun walking from there !

I spent a couple of days in the OB room at Shotts in the late 70s, doing racing from Ayr (IIRC)
