Don't know about that, but I was in a car on the Central Line a few days ago, and it had less than 50% lights working and the door bleepers in that car were also not working. I reported that when I alighted.

I reported that when I alighted. From the collective symptoms you describe, it sounds as though the Data Transmission System (DTS) had tripped in the unit you were travelling in. |

Central Line Improvement Programme - The first train was expected to be in service in March 2022, but the current forecast shows this will be more than 160 days late. The programme has been impacted by resourcing challenges, but work continues to recover time and deliver the project as quickly as possible. [TfL Investment Programme report - quarter to 31 March 2022]

When I started this thread 4 yrs ago, I quoted the Central GM as saying the **new trains** would be here by 2030. Since we now have only twice the life of this thread to go, has anyone heard of any adjustment to that ETA? Seems as if we'll only be getting the last of the re-motored sets by then!

With TfL grant funding expiring today, it's hard to make plans for a future!

Since we now have only twice the life of this thread to go, has anyone heard of any adjustment to that ETA? Seems as if we'll only be getting the last of the re-motored sets by then! The GM would only have been taking their cues from whatever the editorial stance on the plans were at that time. Since then we’ve had COVID and the drip fed funding model that has bought with it. Only ten years ago senior LUL managers stated that the “New Tube for London” trains having no cabs. That very quickly changed into, they’ll be modular and removable, to oh actually there’s no money for new signalling so the new trains will have a drivers cab and introduced to run in tripcock mode only. What happened to those senior managers? Many of them left the company and these aspirations went with them. As a wise depot manager once said, you can put a plan on paper but the it usually changes before the ink has dried. |

The first CLIP train was meant to be let into passenger service in September? Is this still likely to happen??

I’d be surprised if it does go into service in September, but anything is possible.

CLIP Train 2 has completed its dynamic testing for now and has returned this week to Acton Works for the fitting of its AC motors.
This is the first train with all interior and AC mods undertaken.
Further Line testing will be ongoing.

Are the upgraded 92TS stock capable of higher line speeds within the existing signalling when the entire Central Line is equipped with them? But I suppose it never will be - NTL will surely have arrived by then... This and the four posts below have been moved from the New tube for London thread - Tom |

There is a suggestion that ‘92 Stock will return to 100kph at some point, restricted to 85kph after the Chancery Lane derailment.
