Trying to work out how it was in stage 5. Very confusing.N6's gallery was in Stage 6, but the studio itself was fairly slap-bang in the middle of Stage 5 (as close to Stage 4 as 6). Even on the shortest route, there were four sets of doors between N6 and the main newsroom floor. I don't know what it was before, but I assume it was conference rooms or something that allowed an easy conversion.
