Will be interesting to see how the Jubilee copes with a more frequent
service. The signalling cannot cope with the present headways, and the
station dwell times on the JLE horrendous.

ATO like on the Central will mean more trains, running faster and more
often. At the moment as there are so few signals (being installed as
Moving Block) there are bigger gaps in the service.

Oh and with it being a TubeLines building, expect the windows to leak
and the doors to not shut!
