The Jubilee Line would have had 10 new trains to operate a 36 trains per

Not sure how the jubilee service could be any more frequent in the rush hour
tbh. It already seems to be operating 1 train per minute in the central
section.

Finn Brennan, Aslef's organiser on LU, said: "The Northern line is one of
the most overcrowded parts of the Underground and passenger demand is
projected to grow by a further 25% by 2023.
"Without new trains, overcrowding will get worse and worse."

Well, it can only get to a certain maximum that can be transported. When that
happens people will simply find alternative routes.

The project had been paused due to a budget shortfall caused by Mayor of
London Sadiq Khan's flagship "fares freeze" policy., the assembly's Tories
claim.
Member Keith Prince said the freeze "blew a £640m hole in TfL's budget."

Its worse than that, Khan is in favour of mass immigration to London and
can't - or more likely won't - mentally join the dots from that to
increased infrastructure requirements. He's your typical morally bankrupt
liberal lefty - fly the flag for mass immigration then blame someone else when
it starts to cause problems.
