HL Deb 16 March 2000 vol 610 cc217-8WA
Baroness Anelay of St Johns

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On how many occasions since 6 January the Jubilee Line service has been disrupted by signal failure. [HL1400]

The Minister of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Macdonald of Tradeston)

I understand from London Underground that between 7 January and 4 March 2000 there were in total 55 incidents of delay attributable to failure of Jubilee Line signalling equipment. Of these, nine were of over 15 minutes' duration and the rest between two and 15 minutes.

As you know, work is in hand aimed at improving performance significantly.
