Control
The Connect Network is controlled from eleven core sites at various stations on the Underground. The main infrastructure is Motorola Centracom.
The Network Management Centre (NMC) is at Thale's site in Waterloo (South East London). Each line controller at line control centres has a despatcher terminal to talk to trains. Station staff use a combination of fixed mobile units and hand-portable radios.

Famous quotes containing the word control:
“A “super person” is one who expects to manage a career, home, and family with complete ease, expecting to maintain a perfect job, a perfect marriage, a perfect house, and perfect control of the children.”
—Joyce Portner (late 20th century)
“Grown-up people do very little and say a great deal.... Toddlers say very little and do a great deal.... With a toddler you cannot explain, you have to show. You cannot send, you have to take. You cannot control with words, you have to use your body.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
