  @alicemcalicepants @leymoo Quite likely the muitple circuits (eg 01 484 5255 with 10 lines which would be known as 01 484 5255/1 to 01 484 5255/10) ended up on something like a key and lamp unit (link below) - they can be set up to forbid the lines communicating with one another, but if the wiring change was not made it would be possible. That might be deliberate for a radio station to get more than one caller to air at the same time without having multiple channels on the desk hybrid (those channel strips aren't cheap and its more work for the broadcast engineers) and/or all 10 keys are left active late at night with fewer staff At some point Capital would have gone to a more modern ACD (automatic call distributor) which would have removed this loophole https://www.britishtelephones.com/klu2a.htm
