In the good old days of the GWR and then Western Region, quieter signalboxes were switched out at night and/or at weekends. In operating terms, the signal box had ceased to exist until it was switched back in. Its work was done by the signal boxes either side. Did such a thing happen in the old days of individual signalboxes on London Underground?

Surely this was what the King lever was for and was used throughout the underground. Whitechapel district used to control Whitechapel east London which worked automatically either in reversing mode or through working to shoreditch with the flick of a lever. I can just remember the signal box on the southbound platform East London line that had about 6 levers of which one must have been a king lever.
