..... Whilst the assisting ATO method worked on the Victoria Line as trains entered service over a period of time, it was feared that lines like the Northern Line had many trains entering service in a short period of time, so many assisting ATOs would need to be rostered at each location. ..... I don't know how the lines worked fifty years back, but looking at the current working timetables, the Vic Line service has built such that 5 trains enter service in the quarter hour to 6:15, whilst Morden Depot puts into service 5 trains in a quarter hour on four occasions through the morning build up, 9 in half-hour periods from 5 to 6:45 which the Vic Line never reaches, even 10 from 5:30 to 6:00. What is Morden depot's secret to putting so many trains into service in a short period of time? This is all done with the traditional depot ground shunter I believe. No other LU depot comes close. Plans for a further upgrade to the Northern line service required signalling of Morden depot with central control. |
