A look at 48 hours in the life of London's Angel tube station, from the daily round of fraught commuters to overburdened lifts and cancelled trains. Plus, following the nightly activities of 'fluffers', women who clean rubbish off the tracks to avoid a fire hazard. The programme also uncovers how gangs of men work to renovate parts of the track in almost pitch-black conditions. First broadcast 23 November 1989
