Will be interesting to see how the Jubilee copes with a more frequent

ICBW, but I think the dwell times are primarily down to the signalling
rather than pax/train interface (i.e. the driver doesn't close the
doors because he hasn't got a green, because the headways are crap).
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!
On the plus side, it'll cost 1/4 as much as a Metronet building ;-)
