Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I have been curious about this since I worked in London in 1978. One final query: could the same exchange name be used in more than one director area (eg CENtral or WEStern)? Reason I ask is: when making a trunk call into a director area, was it necessary to tell the operator the city name (Glasgow, Western or Western in Glasgow) or just exchange and number?
