the victoria line is Automatic Train Operation (ATO) along with the Central Line. The Jubilee should be next year, the Northern 2012 and Piccadily 2014. The Northern line trains are restricted to 62% as are the Jubilee trains until they have ATO. There are no current Northern or Central line extension proposals. The Jubille Line trains have a much better pullaway than the Northern Line, which seems to drag off in comparison. When you say 62%, do you mean 62mph or 62% power?

62% power until ATO comes along.
I'm not sure about the Jubilee line trains pulling away more quickly. It may seem it because of the more exciting sounds.

Yeah that is true! The Northern Line could approach and speed much faster. But I think that Line is ok, just needs adjustments, like any other line!! ding, dong! This is Goodge Street This train terminates at Mill East Hill This train is ready to depart, please mind the door ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, (doors closed) The reason why I choosed Goodge Street is because my dad use to work on Tottenham Street (opposite Habitat and Heals) that road! - Is the Northern Line the only line to announce "This train is ready to depart, please mind the doors" without the driver having to say it? I must give credit to the Northern Line for the way how Kennington and Camden Town Stations platforms are like! BTW: I heard that there was alot of proposals for Northern Line! Like an extension from Mill Hill East and Edgware + Finsbury Park! Do you guys know where these extensions would have gone? Finally I heard that one time they wanted to extend the Central Line from West Ruslip to Denham! Is this true and where is Denham? Denham is the next stop up the line from West Ruislip, very handy it would have been for the Alexander Korda film studios. Now youngman I suggest you Google and enter norther line-northern height' you'll be surprised what you'll find. Also Capital Transport have an excellent book about the Northern Line north of Edgware. Clue-What was Aldenham originally intended for?One very ambitious plan in the early 1900s, was to extend the Metropolitan Railway to Oxford!! This would have happened via Verney Junction and Banbury. Oh ok, so it was true that years ago the Northern Line had proposals of extending the line from Mill Hill East to the edgware Branch via Mill Hill, exteding from Edgware to Bushey Heath and another one was an extension from Highgate to Alexandra Palace! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_LineOh ok! Thx's for the Denham Info and the additional about the Metropolitan!!!

Went on it today and there was a blue version of the Northern Line moquette in carrage 53530. Im sure that blue moquette forms part of a replacement seat which is more blue than the others because it is new, fresh and clean. The rest have become dirty and faded over the years so that they have become more pale blue-grey with black bits ;D 62% power until ATO comes along. I'm not sure about the Jubilee line trains pulling away more quickly. It may seem it because of the more exciting sounds. Trust me they do, one can feel the difference with the push. Seconded. The 95 stock always seem to drag along after being stationary.
