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)
“Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones ... run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
