North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011
In message , asdf
writes I don't think the ATO thing is an issue - Victoria Line trains are already capable of being driven manually, and can be equipped with tripcocks for when they need to travel over other lines (e.g. to reach the works at Acton). Presumably they would just need to be equipped with conventional power/brake handles, and have a trailer removed to reduce them to 7 cars. There were a number of units transferred to the Victoria a few years ago (72 stock from the Northern?) which were only fitted with ATO in the outer cabs. the inner cabs are not currently in normal use but are considered quite suitable with minor mods for enhancing the Bakerloo line. I'm sure I've read this being the proposed way forward in Underground News in the past year or so. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building. You will find him in London's Docklands, E16, UK (please use the reply to address for email) |
