Notes:

1. The Evening Chronicle 05/03/1984 carried a report on a proposal, not acted upon, to move NUT014 and NUT010 to a location beside the station’s Left Luggage Office. In a follow-up article on 19/03/1984 page 6 the paper reported that “fear of vandalism” was the reason for the change of mind.
