Anorak on! Notice the black on white A24 station plate on the Pump Ladder. The only other station I remember with this on the frontline machines was A26 Knightsbridge.
The rest of the black on white plates were on the FIU's only although I stand to be corrected!

Kyle, are you referring to the BA wearers regards the term 'anorak' thanks?

Added by Pavel on 19 February 2010.
Errrr... no! I don't think he is!

Added by Mike G on 20 February 2010.
Hi Pavel, it's English slang for someone who knows maybe a little too much about a certain subject. It derives from our trainspotters who used to generally wear anoraks and now it's used if for instance you know the minutest detail about something.
Hope that explains it!
