trainExplorer They also monitor numbers and would close the station if it hit the number over which is considered dangerous. This happened at Oxford Street once whilst I was there but I can't remember what had caused the problem.

Euston lost its when the Bank branch platforms were reconfigured to allow cross-platform transfers to the Victoria line, and Angel had its island platform converted into an extra-wide southbound platform in 1992 (with the northbound track being routed into a new platform).
