Hi guys,
I think it's time for an update on the Jubilee. As you will now know, a Christmas release isn't going to happen. If you've not seen the notice on the website, a release is more likely to be in late January or early February.
Chris' Progress
Over the last few months or so, I believe Chris has been updating the line between Westminster and North Greenwich. He has fully completed all stations along the route as far as London Bridge, and is working on Bermondsey at the moment.

Dan's Progress
Meanwhile, Dan took it upon himself to make a start on Swiss Cottage and St. John's Wood stations, texturing them with fully photographic textures. I'm lead to believe Swiss Cottage and St. John's Wood stations will be 90% photographic! The two stations (once fully modeled and completed) will be implemented into the route by myself, who will code the in-between-stations bits between Swiss Cottage and Baker Street.
In a recent trip to London, Dan managed to get some more textures for Baker Street, Bond Street and Green Park, so these will also be updated with new photographic textures.

The 1996TS has had little progress over the last couple of weeks, because the .dll has been sent away for work, and Dan is still waiting for it to be finished. Once this is completed and sent back to Dan, the train will be complete.
My Progress
At the same time, I started the section between North Greenwich and Canning Town - in my opinion, Canning Town is the most difficult station to model, with the DLR bridges above creating big problems with modeling.
The tunnel section after North Greenwich wants extending as its too short, which will be left up to Chris. I have now completed Canning Town, complete with the North London Line to the right and DLR above. The station is made up of all brand new objects, custom made for Canning Town, as well as curved platforms and photographic textures.

While Dan was in London, he also took many pictures of West Ham, so I made a start on that too today.

An update will follow, when more progress is made.
