Toll A

Toll A Tandem exchange, serving exchanges within 30 miles of London routing out of London. Home to The Loon for 9 years until he moved on to Euston Tower. Then came back to work around Faraday installing computer network cabling.

The Staff

Unearthed from a time capsule buried by children at a south London school, these pictures are from Xmas parties involving Toll A staff and various hangers-on. 

The Loon moved to Toll A to become a TO when Len Hawkins retired under the dead-man's-shoes rule that covered promotion on 8th December 1978 (the letter of instruction is in the Paperwork section from the homepage) to join Eric Proud's happy band of campers. Not a lot happened really. Unless you count spending most of his time on extra curricular activities. See the appraisal in the Paperwork section where both Eric and Paul Adams give there view on how he spent his time.
