  • Why can't we not use these colours once again. I cannot stand the solid white red blue livery and bright yellow poles. It's like a child's playground

  • Thanks hihat, should have explained this better:

    Centre Conductor : -210v

    Outside Conductor : +420v

    On sections shared with Railtrack 3rd rail stock, the fourth rail is

    bonded to the running rails and is, therefore, at 0v, with the outside

    conductor rail at +630v.

    Believe there are plans to raise to 750vdc on some lines when all the new subservice S Stock has been introduced.

  • @Cazkumali south end

  • where was this going 2

  • @MrSignalbelle , that's right!, having worked on L.U.L they occasionally step up the current during the peak to deal with heavy loads in the sections to about 730 v DC , the traction motors wouldn't normally operate at the max on 750 .( apart from the 38 stock when it went over to the island line and was converted to 3rd rail, this actually when completed gave the 38 stock a faster aceleration rate!, due to the motors being re modified to 750 vots. thanks for your feedback!

  • Thanks Bronzeonion, stand corrected. Fortunately I never rode on the outside sections of the Bakerloo so never knew them at full speed. Seem to be OK in tunnels. Looking forward to a trip in Standard stock hopefully again one day with the London Transport Museum vehicles.

  • @MrSignalbelle You mean 1972 MKII's not 1967 MKII's? I heard the Standard stock trailers' suspension was terrible!

  • Thanks Bronzeonion. Up until 1970 the 38 stock was in total control of the Bakerloo Line before the introduction of the 1959s and for a short period 1967 mkIIs. There was a slight twist in 38 stock as one coach in the train was a converted 1927 standard stock trailer. They were to dive into, as they were much more comfortable. 

  • @MrSignalbelle , actually normally 630 v DC
