Saw this photo on Flickr the other day and thought I'd share with you all - should interest some. Based on the comments, I'd guess it was taken sometime between 1949 (when the box opened) and the 1960s (when the furthest workstation - the suburban workstation - was closed). Scrap that, just realised it doesn't look like it can be done with LivSt, unless it is refreshed and made scrolly?!

A shrewd guess - based on all actually wearing uniforms (& the style thereof) is 1950s. Also the permanent describers are in place (I have an idea all those boxes opened with a magazine type reminiscent of the SR design, with the back-projected screens coming later) so it's not within the first year or 2. Can't make out whether the loco bays are still in place on the Suburban panel but I think they are. They remained in use until the NE London electrification of 1961. I suspect abolition of the Suburban panel was after the opening of the LT Victoria Line (1967), which relieved the pressure on LV enormously (I understand that, from '61 to '67 the intense "Jazz" service remained in operation). So best guess is late '50s.
