Bank Station London 1990-2010 Contrasts Part 2

Part 2 of a film showing time separated contrasting views of London's Bank underground railway station.

This film show the Waterloo and City Line in 1990, 1994 (just before the privatisation of British Railways saw it becoming part of London Underground) and 2010 plus the Docklands Light Railway shortly after the line to Bank opened (in 1991) and again in 2010..

@Grenade45

btw, its worth bearing in mind the importance & high sensitivity of the area around London's Bank station.

@KasHCubeD Not Waterloo, but Victoria/Charing Cross has been considered.

there may be cctv but its isn't being constantly monitored. Do you think anybody actually cares? Its more of a deterrent. Nobody is going to sit staring at a screen all day and night. The reality is nobody gives a shit

@SMALTV Thanks; despite the global shortage of hard drives (caused by factory flooding in Thailand) I have managed to buy a new hard drive.

However a change of job now restricts time. Also, I still have some films which have been digitised to uplift, which I hope will be completed in January (2012).

Creating the 'New Bus For London" films has also set me back a bit, as I'm getting these finished before catching up with the other stuff.

@Grenade45 TV and media reports showing the technology, that it exists, how it works...

Below I quote from the Wikipedia "Facial_recognition_system" webpage.

"In addition to being used for security systems, authorities have found a number of other applications for facial recognition systems. While earlier post 9/11 deployments were well publicized trials, more recent deployments are rarely written about due to their covert nature."

@Grenade45 Indeed so, yes; in the DLR's early days... not nowadays!
