AFAIK its all ATO now, so why are there still 3 min service gaps (at

are there
simply not enough trains for a victoria line 1 min gap service?

Believe me. The delays are almost always owing to passengers ****ing
up in one
way or another.

That may be the case in certain circumstances, but unless northern line
passengers are bunch of cretins in comparison to those on the victoria
and
jubilee I don't see that as a good reason for the poor frequency. Perhaps
when (if) the line is finally split when the battersea extension opens it
will improve, or at least one half will.

On the subject of the extension, anyone know if tunnel boring has
started yet?

The main tunneling starts in 2017.

Any idea on when work to rebuild Bank is due to start? Or is it still at
a feasibility stage?

It would be so fantastic if Bank was complexity rebuilt. But I don't think I'll ever see it. Never in my lifetime.
