Met line signalling
In this months Modern Railways it says the Met is going to get Citiflo 650
moving block signalling in the next few years which does away with lineside signals. Which raises a couple of questions - why didn't they just use the same system as on the jubilee line given that the 2 lines run side by side for a long distance, and what will happen on the uxbridge branch which is shared with the piccadilly? Will the latter be terminated at Rayners Lane? B2003 |

One more reason to withdraw to Moor Park I guess. |
