[Tetramesh]

Yes, when this was filmed there was only 95 stock running on the Northern Line.

[Tetramesh]

I know. I meant as opposed to both 95 and 59 stock in service on the line at the same time.

They learn the route during training and memorise all the braking points by heart. Drivers rely on visual cues (such as curves/signals/bridges) to determine when to apply the brakes to accurately stop by the stopping mark st stations.

@jakethejuj56 You brake when you see the whites of the passengers eyes!!....Love from an ex Northern line driver..1988-95

@Tetramesh By the way I don't get the difference between 59 and 62 stock.

One point else: When I was in London, Northern Line was mainly served by 56 stock.

Here in Australia our train drivers would have to blow the horn going into tunnels.
