Whither the new Piccadilly Line trains?
In message nKZLn.378$J52.330@hurricane, "
writes I had thought that it was to be the 67s as the 09s came into service. It seems as though the 67s have a different control set up then other LUL rolling stock. Whereas the deadman lever is normally in the controller, it is separate from the controller on the 67s. They have a similar set up in Berlin. IIRC, the problem with the 67s is that their speeds are restricted to 25 miles when in manual. Speeds on the Island Line can reach 45 miles. I would imagine there will be enough work done on them if they ever reach the IOW for this not to be a problem; after all it should only involve changing a few wires about. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building. You will find him in London's Docklands, E16, UK (please use the reply to address for email) |
