Today train 305 in passenger service in TBTC mode in DFA area northbound and southbound either side of 11 a.m. AFAIK first such passenger train (but someone may be able to correct that; its certainly the first one I know of). Unit 96055+96056.

Think they've been doing it for at least a couple of weeks.

Does the white tent over a track at Stratford Market Depot have anything to do with the upgrade project?

That's the TFOS-temporary fitting out shed,they can only do one train at a time in there so they also use 38 & 39rds in the maintenance shed.

10 units (of which 9 were completed as at early today) having software upgrade to on train equipment that should to allow train operators to drive in dual fitted area without instructor operator.

towerman, any idea of when and what sections will go ATO first, and will it go like the Central did with ATP coming in on the whole line before ATO comes in sections?

The original idea was to start at Stanmore and work south/east,but I hear the latest plan is to start at each end and work towards the middle.There are no plans for interim ATP.AFAIK NSCC starts taking over control of the original Jubilee towards the end of this year.It will be possible to have some sections ATO and some conventional signalling.

An IRSE paper ''Jubilee & Northern Upgrade Project (JNUP): The Challenges of Applying a Proven Product to an Existing Metro Railway'' is probably the best way to explain the Jubilee project phasing.
Quote:
The Jubilee Line implementation of TBTC is being achieved in six stages.
J1 – Dual Fitted Area: This stage involves an overlay TBTC system between Canons Park and Kingsbury at the quieter northern end of the Jubilee Line. Protection continues to be provided by the existing signalling system, but trained operators in TBTC-fitted trains can switch into TBTC mode to gain driving experience. The area will also provide further technical evidence (e.g. of system reliability) ahead of the
migration of the final system.
J2 – Stratford to Canning Town: This is the first phase in the changeover from existing signalling to TBTC. Trains will switch into TBTC at Canning Town eastbound platform (having been tracked from Canary Wharf) and back to Tripcock Protection (TCP) mode at Canning Town westbound platform. As this is a TBTC only area, all revenue service trains must be dual equipped to enable this section to enter service.
J3 – North Greenwich to Westminster: The extended TBTC control area includes Jubilee Line Extension stations with Platform Edge Doors.
J4 – Green Park to Dollis Hill: The penultimate section includes interfaces to he Bakerloo Line at Baker Street.
J5 – Neasden to Stanmore: The final section includes interfaces to the Metropolitan Line and Neasden Depot at Neasden and Wembley Park.
Control of the above sections is from Neasden SCC.
Post J5 – Following the implementation of TBTC and hence the removal of a number of short overlaps in the old signalling system, the performance of the 96 Tube Stock can be raised and Automatic Train Operation introduced, providing the final upgrade of performance.
Endqoute.
There is now some speculation in some quarters that J2 and J2 might be done together as ''J23''.
