Closing a station at night

The 'general' procedure:

1) Make sure last customer has left
2) Close the boswick gates.
3) Switch off escalators
4) Telephone our designated station to say we're locked up
5) Make sure all the contractors are booked on.
6) Make sure the contractors haven't left any gates open.
7) Throw out the drunks/ vagrants that the contractors have let in.
8) Sort out any disagreements between teams of contractors.
9) Test the fire alarm panel / emergency equipment / CCTV.
10) Make sure no contractors have broken anything/ killed anybody and do a station check.
11) Test the back up power supply
12) Kick the cleaners for not doing any work
13) Eat my low calorie ready meal.
14) Play simsig for about 30 mins
15) Check all areas the contractors have been working in. Telephone our designated location and tell them we're still alive.
16) Switch on the escalators and lights
17) Do a full and thorough station check. And that all contractors have left.
18) Shout at the public who let themselves in to get their Metro's
19) Switch back on the lights
20) Book on the early turn staff
21) Switch on all ticket machines/ ticket gates etc
22) Open the gates again.
23) Telephone our designated station that we're open.
24) Check the first trains have working CCTV

However I can remember an ex-colleague who worked at a location that I won't divulge not NOT on the Black Line. Who's nights went like this:

1) Lock gates
2) Phone designated location
3) Give contractors station keys
4) Go to ticket office
5) Open bed
6) Set alarm clock
7) Sleep
8) Wake up
9) Get keys back
10) Do a station check
11) Open gates.........

Whoops forgot to mention

Does every LUL station have a night turn then?

So, if there's no lamping out, do they close the station to passengers before the last train arrives, or just hope no-one is making their way to the train when its leaving?

There's one station where the last 'in service' train departs 94 minutes after the last train leaves to go through central London!

I'll give you a clue of sorts and say it doesn't actually go "the other way"

Indeed.

In the meantime, this week's traffic circular (25) say's that the new rule book wording wasn't meant to change the procedure and that "current practices for managing the departure of last trains must not be changed" - it then states that a review of the wording will take place.

It's on page 31, section 5.4.2 for those with authorised access.

I would guess it's somewhere like Chalfont & Latimer, Croxley, Hillingdon or Theydon Bois where the last central London train goes early-ish and then the last Amersham/Watford/Uxbridge/Epping etc goes through the other way 94 mins later...

I did drop a hint saying it wasn't "the other way" but you are pretty close with one of your guesses prakash... (which iirc has about 92 minutes between the last train into london and the last train to leave altogether)...

Perusing the staff rosters on the Intranet, I have noticed Cannon Street has no night turn SS. I am assuming a reserve SS from Tower Hill goes down when work has to be done?

Nice rosters there, sa finishes at 2130, has 1 in 3 saturdays off, and every sunday off.

ISTR there are certain connections that have to be maintained - like the ones documented in the WTT as "connects to/from the last train to x".
