Cheers Pinz - I got some bits off these units too - a roof vent, a destination blind and builders plate...

Yes, once the word went around, there were a few of us "rescuing" bits and pieces before they were all torched.

Has anyone used the stairs to get from platform to street level at Hamilton Square? I did it ONCE - and by heck once is enough. Must be 10-12 floor levels. I was knackered.

Conway Park is much the same but at least THEY post a notice at the station level warning you how many steps

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

I've only just seen this thread. The second photo in the first post is, I think, James Street. James street platforms are straight (except at the Liverpool Central end) whereas Hamilton Square's are curved.
Regarding the ghost; I never saw one when I used to do night turns at James Street signal box.
