As has been said the Jubilee doesn't need such an intensive service to Stanmore. But they still need a core service that is high frequency (Willesden Green - North Greenwich) The Jubilee to Harrow will mean that trains have extra stations to terminate at Wembley, Willesden, Harrow, Stanmore...

I think the 1996 orders are for an extension to Harrow and the Hill. Splitting the Northern sounds like a good idea. Some good progress being made!

The CSDE antennas on the train can pick up the signal from the platform beacons from about 1 metre either side of the beacons. It would have been good to do it via the CIS but different platforms require different door opening patterns, even if they are at the same station. So the CIS would...

They do not have auto couplers in-between the two D cars in the middle of the train. They are semi permanently coupled.

This happens on all stocks (Except S Stock and 09 Stock as they have a different door mechanism) People only notice it on the 92 Stock as the push back door springs are noticeably weaker than other stocks.

Victoria Line drivers are only able to drive manually up to 22mph this is done between Seven Sisters and Northumberland Park Depot out of service to keep up their driving. Lots of trains/ duties do the staff runs which gives all drivers the opportunity to drive every so often. Manual driving...

Id think you'd be better off getting your foot in the door however possible - either position. If they are recruiting go for it.

Between the resistor grids and the chassis. Arc chutes have asbestos in them although they are changed to new types ones when they fail.

I've been on the Northern Line and it has happened. It shouldn't continue to happen, it degrades the public transport and we have quite a very well managed on in London as it is. Other countries it is rife and the trains are not nice to travel on.

If your talking about converting some 67's to run on the Bakerloo then lots of modifications would have to take place, not worth it. Too expensive, lots of paperwork, labour and man hours for very little gain! By the time the new Bakerloo extension would be drawn up, consultations, budgets...

The main issue is asbestos and all the C69 versions contain asbestos, whereas the C77's don't (There may be a couple of places the 77's do and I will verify in due course). If you were to buy them the original vendor is responsible for it (in this case TfL) and for that reason they might now...

They will already work on 750V DC But gearboxes, axle covers and axles were never designed for the return of current so extensive (and expensive!) mods would need to be carried out - For very little gain.

Why, is this a problem? ATO delivers are far more efficient railway than in protected manual.

I think this is a good question. Enthusiasts often see things through a rose tinted pair of eyes. People get used to or grow up with certain stocks and aren't happy when something is changed. It will indeed be sad that the A Stock, 67 Stock and soon enough C Stock will go. But on the other hand...

Yes but you have to weigh it up. What is so bad about 28 day maintenance?

Go on the Paris metro for a few trips on some of the lines, then go ride the underground and tell me what you think by comparison!! The Underground is fantastically clean by comparison, and it shows on customer surveys. If we let this slip, anything could happen. I'd hate for it to...

Depot staff do have to remove them (and there have been notices to remove them on examination from management) because most times they obscure real stickers which may have information which may benefit people like priority seats, emergency alarm information or station stops on the map. Which...

What the unions need to do is realise that LUL want driverless trains, accept it and deal with their current members making sure they have jobs to be moved to - like what is happening in France. The more the unions protest against driverless trains, the worse off the members will be. LU will do...

The S Stock has been rolled out over the past 2 years which they will have encountered slippy season already. The A Stocks didn't exactly cope very well in the slippy season. They require covers to stop snow from melting and flashing over the motors every winter. They have wheel slip...

722 is just a duty number for a driver which drives it part of the day. The train number for the day is 412. However should an incident occur the train can be put away/ reversed/ reformed, etc. Or even cancelled last minute without notice. However I think they are unlikely to do this as with...
