Piccadilly Line - Emma Clarke Announcements
On Sat, 27 Aug 2005 23:35 +0100 (BST), (Colin
Rosenstiel) wrote: I thought they gave up on moving block signalling to meet the 1999 opening date. Are there any plans yet to introduce moving block or any other automatically driven trains? I thought not. Yes, the moving block intention was dropped in favour of a more convential track circuit based system by Westinghouse. For the upgrades the proposals for Jubilee and Northern are based on Alcatel's SELTRAC system and for the Victoria (and presumably SubSurface) Westinghouse "Distance to Go". See here for articles: SELTRAC http://www.home.alcatel.com/vpr/arch...Key/02102003uk and here for Distance to Go http://www.metronetrail.com/default....=1084193413828 As Paul C says, no contract has yet been signed between Tubelines and any suppliers for signalling and trains on the Picc line.
