I see that the jubilee line is set to close for 5 days later this year
to install ne signalling equipment. Which section is to get the new
equipment?

Not really correct. Yes there is to be a closure but that is primarily
to add all the extra 7th cars to the existing trains. The four new
trains will also be commissioned. There are changes being made now along
the line to accommodate the longer trains and to ensure they stop in
positions that will still work all the platform train interface
(cameras, platform edge doors etc) equipment. There will obviously be
tests of the longer trains with the revised equipment over the 5 day
period.

In parallel the resignalling works are happening now with work running
from Stratford to Stanmore - hence why the Stratford to North Greenwich
section has had some weekend closures. The full signalling upgrade is
still a few years away from completion and implementation.

However, the peak service will be reduced gradually from about 4
December to 24 December whilst trains are taken out of service to have
the new carriages added (and they can't come back into service until
every train has the extra carriage).

Glad I've got a car - if I relied on public transport to get to work It'd be
a nightmare.

But once the chrimbo period is over there's no problem (apart from the
usual at any rate)bigger trains, more room.

Presumably to protect against a situation where the JLE doors "think" it's
a long train, but it isn't.
