New Victoria line trains ‘23 times less reliable’ than the old ones says the Evening Standard.
Things they don’t mention:
- running two signalling systems alongside each other is the tricky bit of an upgrade
- trains usually need a while to “bed in”
- TfL only started running these at rush hour in the last few months; it’s no surprise they’re finding issues
Also, as the comments note, I’d like to know where the suspiciously mathematical “23 times” figure comes from.
