And much closer together than if driven manually, allowing an increased service frequency. we are running 12 trains an hour, and the reason we can drive the train cars a lot faster is because the computer controlling it is maintaining the distance between the trains ahead, so there is always a safe gap between them all, which can't be maintained on the normal network because of where the signalling system is set up. 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 o...

Underneath central london, the £1 billion fleet of trains are almost entirely automated. this is a dream come true. setting off from stations at the push of a button. so, once you are ready, check monitors again, press start, and the train will take off. that's it. laughs. that's so surreal! in the central section, trains and signals communicate with each other automatically, meaning trains can run faster and much closer together than if driven manually, allowing an increased service frequency. we are running 12 trains an hour, and the reason we can drive the train cars a lot faster is becaus...

Ahead, so there is always a safe gap between them all, which can't be maintained on the normal network because of where the signalling system is set up. 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 si...

In the core section of the line, running underneath central london, the £1 billion fleet of trains are almost entirely automated. this is a dream come true. setting off from stations at the push of a button. once you are ready, check monitors again, press start, and the train will take off. that's it. laughs. that's so surreal! in the central section, trains and signals communicate with each other automatically, meaning trains can run faster and much closer together than if driven manually, allowing an increased service frequency. we are running 12 trains an hour, and the reason we can drive ...
