A London Subway Experiment: Please Don’t Walk Up the Escalator

Victoria line is at 34tph at peak. I think the jubilee line is running at 30tph right now and will be going up to 34tph when they have more trains.

All lines will go to CBTC soon. Not having a driver doesn't add any capacity. Indeed it can lower it quickly in the event of something going wrong (may take a while to get staff to the train to fix it)

tph? Thousands/trains/teas per hour?

I'd rather have asked for an explanation of CBTC.
