Jubilee Line Closure

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.
