    Desiro Traction Motor Noise

    It was the fitting of regenerative braking that changed the noise. Prior to this, the transition in noise that currently occurs at 20mph used to happen at 5mph or so. All 444s and 450s had it fitted by March 2012. Funnily enough I actually asked this question over a year ago too, but I then...

    What does "cue (...)" mean?

    Quite a oddly specific and random question I know, but increasingly I've been seeing this phrase used in these forums and genuinely don't know and can't work out what it means. Here's an example I've just seen:

    Deceleration of Jubilee Line trains at underground vs overground stations

    Ah I see, thanks!

    Deceleration of Jubilee Line trains at underground vs overground stations

    Not sure if it happens on other LU lines too, but I've noticed on the Jubilee Line at least, the trains brake more quickly on the underground sections and more slowly on the overground sections. I'm curious as to why?

    The C6's have already been done, it's just that the 158s, 159/1s and some 159/0s are still in SWT livery/vinyl version of SWR livery.

    Yes 444045 is in the paint shop now, just seen a tweet about it. So no more SWT-liveried 444s in service now. https://x.com/shunterinred/status/1745312366579908811?s=20

    Class 444/450 Motors

    You know how the 444s and 450s change sound at 20mph, having watched some videos from 2010, it seems that the speed at which this happens used to be roughly 5mph. Out of interest, why was it changed to 20mph?
