I was there last week, seems to be many stations on curve on UG (Cannon st,
Monument.... I stood on platforms and tape recorded "mind the gap" and
flange squeal). Operations at such places seem assisted by video and station
staff member on platform, who at least in peak periods seemed to perform
many of the duties a guard would on cityrail.
