The Society's Annual General Meeting will be followed by a talk on 30 years of line signalling upgrades
The talk will reflect on on the 30 years of whole line signalling upgrades on TFL lines. Starting with the Central line in 1980’s the presenter will talk us through the salient events that beset the DLR, Jubilee line extension, Jubilee, Northern, Victoria and more recently sub surface railways line upgrades. Building on commentary senior managers in TfL and independent reviews done on the performance of the upgrades reflections will be offered on what lessons we can take out of this for the future.
