Date published: 11 March 2024

You asked
Today, 17/02/2024, I heard a Code 8 regarding the Crossrail Platform announced at Whitechapel. I am unable to find information on a Code 8, only 1-7 and Ins. Sands. What staff codes are there and what are their meanings? Must I have been mistaken hearing an 8?
