Default Central Line To Close (again)

om...

Can't say it bothers me though I do think the ATO could do with a bit more
intelligence so that it doesn't suddenly accelerate to its target speed

and
whoops , suddenly realise theres another train in front then brake , then

, oh
that trains moved , we'll accelerate again , oh , we're too close again

lets
brake.. etc etc. I'm thinking someone should have mentioned the concept of
coasting to the systems programmers.


A limitation of fixed block signalling... there's not much the ATO can do
about it!
