Now, it has been a bumpy ride to get to this point. when construction began way back in 2009, it was europe s biggest infrastructure project. but it was beset by problems, and has opened 3.5 years late and £4 billion over budget. many of the delays to the project were put down to the complexity of integrating three separate signalling systems. to the east and to the west of london, drivers operate the trains manually, where more traditional signalling is in operation. the central core, however, uses a system of signalling called moving block. historically what you would have is fixed block, so you have a colour light signal that tells the train that the next block is clear ahead, whereas with us, the train is making its physical own block as it goes along the track, meaning you can run as many trains as you want to. i went along to the control room for the elizabeth line in east london to see how it looks from the other side. this is where the magic happens. this is where all ....

Historically what you would have is fixed block, so you have a colour light signal that tells the train that the next block is clear ahead, whereas with us, the train is making its physical own block as it goes along the track, meaning you can run as many trains as you want to. i went along to the control room for the elizabeth line in east london to see how it looks from the other side. this is where the magic happens. this is where all the magic happens. as is often the case, technology also requires a human helping hand. you are currently shown as not cabbed, you don t have a route set ahead of your train. is there an issue with your unit? indistinct speech. i will do that now, if you can just attempt to get your train on, if it is successful i will call you back and give you a route out. we have just seen there two instances of the benefit of having someone who is skilled and able to deal with problems here as well as having this kind of technology. yeah, 100, yeah. this is really ....
And has opened 3.5 years late and £4 billion over budget. many of the delays to the project were put down to the complexity of integrating three separate signalling systems. to the east and the west of london, drivers operate the trains manually, where more traditional signalling is in operation. the central core however it uses a system of signalling called moving block. normally you have a fixed block, where you have a colour light signal that tells the driver that a train is clear ahead, whereas with us it is saying it is clear ahead so you can run as many trains as you want to. i can run as many trains as you want to- want to. i went along to the control room want to. i went along to the control room in want to. i went along to the control room in east - want to. i went along to the j control room in east london want to. i went along to the i control room in east london to see how it looks from the other side. this is where the magic happens. as is often the case, technology ....
