I understood the reason why the jubilee line was late to Stratford was
in problems over "Moving Block" signalling. Have they still not got
this item right yet? Couldn't LUL insist on such a system which when
working could be seriously advantageous to all the network? Private
companies were brought in to do the work, if they can't deliver
shouldn't they either be sacked as a common worker would or be penalised
until they came up with the goods? Or are punters just cattle who feed
the big corporations and have to put up with inferior service?
