Are there any LU stations which are completely unstaffed? I know that
there are some with no staffed ticket offices but unsure whether they
retain any other staff?

Only the smaller Silverlink-managed stations on the Bakerloo. All
LUL-managed stations are staffed at all times (as will be all London
Overground stations, apparently).

There are often lots of open unstaffed stations. This is because of the
staff cuts under the Shorter Working Week Project. Stations with sets
of points/fire alarm systems/other staff that book on nearby are
attempted to be staffed. This must be by someone Supervisor grade and
above.
Sherrif Ken said after Tom Ap Rhys Price was murdered at Kensal that no
station would go unstaffed......well....

Judicious snipping alert!
For those who need everything spelt out, if a station has staff there,
but they are "inaccessible to passengers", that, in my opinion, is
hardly the same thing as an open ticket office & ticket hall.

The station. The CCTV cameras. When we wandered round Loughton
for a open house weekend, the control room was part office; part
cctv monitoring station; where the equipment that allowed local
control of various signalling equipment lived; where the communiction
between line controller and station happened; and where the tea was
brewed.

All stations have a room called the 'control room', I suspect.

CCTV contol is best done locally, as if trouble occurs then the
staff that saw it happen can jump up and deal with it.
The office is required in the station so that the station staff can
do paperwork; the alternative would be not to have paperwork...
which is an attractive thought, but rather unlikely.
