@lpbkdotnet @leymoo radio stations that did call in shows, did have equipment that would automatically answer incoming calls and connect them to a common circuit, usually playing the stations output. It's concevable that out of hours with no music feed, or operator these lines would have worked as a large lossy bridge.
No reference to London, but i knew of one system locally.
I built an electronic replacement for one in the early 90's (without BT approval)

@Extelec @leymoo I’ve got a stack of relatively modern auto answer hybrids. I’m using one of them to feed a couple of guitar pedals for my “scream into the void” phone thing. 0117 911 1228 - select option 5 The others will likely be used for other silliness at emf next year… Edit: oh ffs. Every time I mention this number I then immediately do something that breaks it.it will be offline until I can get a monitor plugged in to the airing cupboard
