The rolling stock in the photo is a 92ts, and not a 95ts.

What does VOBC mean, BTW? I have such signs posted at the end of
stations for the driver and I assume that it has something to do with
the new signalling system. I'm not sure what the letters mean, however.

"Vehicle On Board Controller"

There's a short paragraph about it half way down this page -

Any pictures of the newly fitted equipment in the cab?

Just saw it, actually.

Yeah, I hate the fact that they're upgrading the line so it'll be more
reliable, will run with more trains on it and will move more people.
Such idiots. It's almost as if they think they're in the mass
transportation business.

Indeed, it happens to inconvenience my better half. But we all have waited a long time for these improvements. If all goes well it will be worth the sacrifice.

My only criticism would be that there should be one UK wide signaling and train control system. LU is utilizing several.

And there was me thinking they could test the upgrades in sections. You know,
like they did with the Victoria line? Or even - and I know this is a radical
idea for LU - but how about at night! Gasp! But no, close the entire central
section for the w/e, much less hassle for them.

Like I said - ******s.
