I can remember the Jubilee (Fleet) line being finished in a hurry for
something or other at Stratford, so important that the moving block
signalling was abandoned. Anyone remember what it was?
The opening of the millenium dome in North Greenwich, rather than
anything at Stratford.
Thank you, I couldn't remember what it was.
There were multiple delays on the Jubilee extension, including
escalating costs, lack of promised finance, and worries about the New
Austrian Tunnelling Method used.
Is that the same method, where the tunnel collapsed under Heathrow?
But the full moving block signalling had to be abandoned because it was
an untried system developed by Westinghouse, and couldn't be made to
work.
Isn't it moving block on the DLR? Have they got anywhere near getting
it working on the Jubilee yet?
Did I hear that the Jubilee was to be automatic like the Victoria and
Central lines are?
