The departure boards are back today!
Strangely enough the trains seem to be entering the stations at the lower speed though - I wonder if it's related (it was in the tunnel section, so can't be the weather).

Funny it may sound, but I was in London on Saturday (28th April) and I can only agree that the ATO seemed a bit more ropey on the Jubilee Line than normal. By ropey, I mean:
slower rate of acceleration away from stations
slower “max” allowable speed
lower brake rate
less “negative feedbacking”
more inconsistencies (ie: harsh braking, back up to speed again, harsh braking, back up to speed again in a succession that would have been to quick to be the VOBC and ATO systems regulating the traffic, but too significant to be unintentional too). It’s worth noting that this happened for the whole duration that I was on a couple of different train for, in different directions and above/below ground sections...
