Jubilee line

Jubilee Line drivers are to be balloted for action short of strike follwoing the rushed implementation of a new procedure for passing signals at danger.

The new rule will be for passing a signal that has failed where points are involved. In the past a driver would either need to see a ‘Route Secure...

A recent bulletin highlighted Jubilee Line performance has increased by 101.6%. It also told us that, from the start of the upgrade, journey time had improved by 26 seconds. It would be interesting to know exactly how much the total upgrade has cost and then calculate how many billions for second...

Jubilee Line services were suspended for most of Tuesday evening peak and through until the morning because a piece of metal dropped off a train and short circuited the track. Five trains were stuck in section, with around 1700 passengers having to be detrained along the tunnel. The last customer...

The BBC has revealed that LU once again allowed passengers to get off a train at a closed Canada Water station during the last strike, just like it had during a previous strike.

The patchwork of major incidents on London Underground, and safety cuts announced or envisaged by LUL management would be laughable were it not so serious.

Routinely over night on the Jubilee Line, speed limits of 5mph appear - often not clearly highlighted to train drivers. At the same time LU...

Last weekend's TBTC trial on the Jubilee Line was beset by problems. The line was suspended Waterloo to West Hampstead for most of evening, then two trains were stuck at 5mph due to more faults ...

There were problems all day, from first train til last. Axle counter faults ... again. West Hampstead...

Twice in the last week, managers have forced Green Park to stay open, despite it being below minimum numbers. Today, they finally had to admit defeat and close it.

Last Saturday night, Canary Wharf, Canada Water and North Greenwich stations all closed while there were still trains running. And on...

Jubilee Line train maintainers at Stratford Market Depot are striking for pay parity with the Northern Line.

Stratford was set up as a brand new depot, not transferred from LU like the Northern Line. Alstom saw this as a licence to write contracts with inferior terms and conditions.
