The Jubilee Line
• TfL’s recent upgrade increased the frequency of
trains from late July 2011, and in March 2012 more
trains were added to help meet the 2 minute
frequency
• The new signalling system, which allows trains to be
driven automatically, is in operation across the
entire line allowing:
an increase in the number of trains running in peak hours by
a third - a capacity enhancement of an additional 12,500
people an hour.
A cut in journey times by around 22 per cent.
