I thought it was all due to the aging Victorian infrastructure. It doesn't seem reasonable to blame Metronet/ Tubelines for the **** that they inherited, even if they should have known what they were letting themselves in for. Scientifically speaking, when you're talking about complex electromechanical systems like train signalling, 30 years and 50 years is Pretty Damn Old. I notice that you didn't mention the less than 10 year old Jubilee Line extension. I accept that the Victoria Line signalling is probably knackered I just wish that all concerned would stop going on how the probelms are all due to the "Victorian" infrastructure. The DLR is hardly Victorian and the signalling and all the trains have been replaced since it was built. I can't wait for the first signal failure on the new Westinghouse system on the Victoria Line and on the new Thales system on the Jubilee Line. Kevin But lots of the newer kit is bolted on to or "talks to" the Victorian or kit from the 20's-60's! There will be problems with the new stuff, as it won't be built to last....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Not on the Jubilee Line and that still gets problems. Kevin |
