Wasn't sure which forum to post this on, mods feel free to re-locate.
I posted this on another board but maybe of interested here too :
One of the features of the post-LT/LU era Northern City line (Moorgate / Drayton Park) tube section stations was the pale yellow dim fluorescent strips along the sidewalls about 3 ft above platform surface that would act as an emergency guide in lighting loss.
I was down there this evening (EDIT, this was Tuesday 18/06/19) and used all stations, and all have lost them.
The thing is it looks like deliberate removal, they've all gone, hacked away leaving a bare groove.
But I know they were there on 18/04 as travelling with others and we commented on them, and I did not notice they were missing on 04/06 when I made similar subterranean moves as today.
I'm just wondering if this is some H&S nuttiness like someone discovering the fluorescent material was Extract Of Trawsfynnyd or something equally noxious. To have suddenly but consistently removed the lot at every station indicates something deliberate.
Any ideas ?
