Jubilee Line ATO

In comparison to the Central and Victoria line systems, the Jubilee ATO drives the train at a very humble and civilised pace, I believe that pre-ATO the 1996 stock (and Northern 1995s) were restricted to 60-70% power - now that ATO is in operation have they been let off their leashes? It was difficult to notice any significant acceleration/braking difference. You are correct. The stage in the program that has just been implemented is J4 (Jubilee line stage 4) although todays J4 is really made up of the original J2+J3+J4 added together. It means ATo between Stratford and Dollis HIll AFAIK. J5 completes ATO to Stanmore, then after that there is J6 which brings in a new working timetable along with unscrewed traction packs. At the moment the traction packs and dynamic braking effort is limited to the consraint of clockwork signalling. Once unscrewed the line will have greater acceleration and braking rates. -- Nick |
