At the moment, if a train operator is unfortunate enough to take a wrong stick and end up on a different line than they should normally be on, the train radio may stop working because the train is out of range.
Will the all-singing, all-dancing, tea-making Connect system remove this minor deficiency?

Yes, the driver will be able to choose to talk on the handheld to his own controller or to the controller of the line he has trespassed onto. |

but I though that the system had a range of 50m. They have the aerials on the Wombledon branch 100m apart.

Remember it's one big system, not a separate one for each line at present. So for example at Edgware Road (which is controlled by the Met controller) I could choose to call the District controller on the Connect handset. Or for that matter I could call the Central Line controller! |
