The two recent Tube derailments have both been on JNP tracks -- are these
maintained by Jarvis, which is a member of Tubelines?

Hmm, JNP tracks? So they manage the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly?

Jubilee: catastrophic signal failures
Piccadilly: derailment
Northern: derailment

And that's just in the past week! Is PPP really such a good idea?

Who, with anything called "brains" between their ears has actually argued that
P.P.P. is a good idea?

I take it that you use the word "maintained" in its loosest sense!

No one, but that's what it was sold to people as being.

BBCi News says 6 injured, one with a broken leg.

The Hammersmith/Barons Court derailment was on track maintained by Metronet
SSL, as it's a part of the line where there are both District and Piccadilly
tracks. Metronet SSL were also the maintainer of the track at Chiswick
Park, where an engineering train was derailed earlier this year, though to
be fair that wasn't long after they took over.

Where the Picc train derailed is on the part of the track maintained by
Metronet as part of SSL.

I would point out, for the sake of accuracy, that Metronet maintain the
tracks where the Piccadilly Line train derailed.
