I attended what is called the Ops Committee last week and it was on the
Jubilee Line. The Line General Manager showed two graphs which showed
the growth in traffic, in both directions in the peak, over the last two
years. All of the 7th car capacity increase has been eaten up. The
extent of growth is quite amazing.

The Jubilee Line has had a rough few months and an awful lot of work is
being done to get it back to normal. �This was all said in front of Tim
O'Toole so you can rest assured he will want to see it all delivered.

Obviously something had gone wrong somewhere, perhaps a signal fault
or someone activated an emergency alarm - what information were you
given over the PA?

Haven't seen the daily report but I fear it might be either a signal or
train issue - too many of those of late.

Paul,
There was a signal failure at Stradford. My purpose of bring the
Jubilee line topic up is to basically see if there are others who are
thinking the same thing as I do. The performance of the Jubilee line
is deteriorating to a point which is not very bearable considering the
DLR at Bank station is a mess as well.

What's up with the DLR at Bank at the mo?
