There are also track and signal related problems there. There are also

and risk of signal failures. A lot of this goes back to how the line
was constructed.

Whilst we're on this section of Northern Line, could abyone please
tell me why, between Angel & Old Street the train seems to traverse
over a hollow sounding section of trackbed, making a noise similar to
traversing a viaduct or girder bridge.

Is there something below the tunnel lining to generate such a hollow
sound?
