Just curious - does anyone know what form the architecture will take, will it
be like the JLE, crossrail or something completely new? Also I presume the 2 new stations will have platform doors too which I imagine will mean some new kit on the trains - unless its already installed. -- Spud |

I always thought they were an expensive white elephant that served little purpose but TfL seems to like them - they're going in on crossrail - so I wouldn't put it past them to install just on 2 stations. The safety benefits are considerable and they may well improve dwell times. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

PEDs are deemed essential for driverless trains, but I don't think the Northern line is due to get those for many years. |

Both stations will be under large new buildings, so they may not have much surface presence. I think the inside design will be similar to Crossrail, as that's the current style. The JLE stations were designed 20 years ago. http://www.estatesgazette.com/blogs/...2015/11/nine-e ms-station-towers-planned/ Ah, the Bland Glass Box style. Oh well, so much for innovation. In 40 years time it'll look as dated and unattractive as 60s tower blocks do today. Assuming the glass hasn't all fallen out by then and been replaced by brick. Also I presume the 2 new stations will have platform doors too which I imagine will mean some new kit on the trains - unless its already installed. I don't think there will be PEDs. But why would the trains need extra kit if PEDs are fitted? I just assumed there needs to be some kit in the train to tell the door mechanism that its arrived and fully stopped. I can't see how you'd get the 2nd part of that accurate enough just by using some sort of passive sensor. -- Spud |

Unless those engineers have managed to change the laws of physics so hot air no longer rises I can't see any mechanism for it to make any significant difference. What it does do however is prevent the brief cooling breeze you get just before a train is about to pull in so in that sense its worse. btw, I notice your posting host is the same as the ulm forger.

Presumably the signalling system knows the train has stopped in the right place to open the doors. Perhaps the on-board ATO also tells the signalling system if the doors are open/closed, while the signalling controls whether the doors can open? There's presumably a manual override for emergencies. |

The associated foot tunnel was retained for access to the CSLR tunnels via new connecting shafts (the tunnel rings for these works are dated 1968). But after 25 years, I don't remember exactly how the various old and new works join up. I've been looking without success for any plan that might show all the passages, not just the old tunnels. ISTR the 1960s access steps came up inside the CSLR booking office, rather than using the lift shaft itself. http://www.leverton.org/tunnels/cslr/csl3.jpg is taken from the bottom of the lift shaft and shows the new steps ascending some yards away, up to the left. Open to correction on the above as always, and it would indeed be very interesting to know whether and how this has been retained.
