While we're taking about the Victoria Line can someone fix the computer
to make the breaking less last minute and less fierce. It's the only
line that seems to routinely try to throw everyone on the floor !

Unlikely to be the computer itself. Either a fault with a particular
train or a failure of a signalling / control component at one particular
location.

No. I travel on most of the lines and the Victoria Line had definite
"jump on the anchors" problems. I now lean against the glass partition
until the train has come to a complete standstill. It's far to
consistent to be just an isolated thing. Mind you isn't the Victoria
line the only line where humans don't do the driving ? There might be
the problem !

Central Line is fully automatic (as is DLR). The only tube line in
London where trains seem to accelerate into platforms and then perform a
rather neat stop. It's also far faster now that it used be with driver
control on either the current stock or the 62 stock.
