Default **** up, brewery? Not on LUs CV.

You'd have thought by now that LU would have got its procedures for a signal
failure down to a tee. Instead we get 15 min delays on the jubilee line.
Just how hard is it to drive a train on manual through a section with
presumably a faulty ATO transmitter? And more to the point why does it cause
such delays?

Without ATO/ATP available, each train has to receive verbal authority to proceed "on sight" as far as an agreed fixed point. The train will be in Restricted Manual mode, which enforces a maximum speed of 9mph. At each station, the "Correct Side Door Enable" won't work, so the driver will have to get our of his/her seat to use the relevant safety override and operate the doors whilst standing in the cab doorway.

The signalmen know where the trains are so they know when to give authority
and should be able to do it immediately without the train even having to stop.

Why not full manual mode like they used to operate in or has that been
disabled?

You mean like they used to have to do anyway?

When ATO/ATP dies, all the trains stop, as they have just stopped receiving the communication tells no them that they can proceed. The trains can't switch back to old style manual, as that needs tripcocks and trainstops (and thus traditional signalling) for safety.

Not if you operate a drive on sight, low speed backup.

Which is pretty much how trams operate all over the world. Admittedly their
braking distances are shorter, but not by much. I've been on a few tube trains
that have done emergency stops and they can stop PDQ.

Good luck getting that past the safety regulators.
