Apart from moving block signalling of course!

Though some omissions will be because the whole network was designed
with the assumption of 30per hour services (was it 36 per hour at one
point?)

Personally I think they should have been a bit more infrastructure to
isolate failed trains and be able to run more of a service on parts of
the line while other bits were suspended


I suppose avoiding trains or signalling failing in the first place
would be preferable.

The whole Jubilee line should be using Automatic Train Operation by
September 2011, though ATO will be introduced incrementally on
different sections of the line - this is according to the February TfL
board papers, see this entry on Mr Thant's blog (or indeed click
through via the links provided there and read the actual papers
themselves):

Automatic train operation on the Jubilee Line, and starting June this year.
If the BBC said that there would be hundreds of train spotters posting here
to say that the BBC was talking ********.
