Paid a visit to battersea. Quite surprised how noisy the new part of the
northern line is. Perhaps its the concrete everywhere and nothing to absord
the sound. Also the lack of any significant overruns at the platforms was
unexpected. Do they really trust the ATO that much? Other than that it was
standard 21st century LU minus the platform doors (I guess no one wants to
commit suicide in that part of the world).

New concrete Tube tunnels always seem to be very noisy, not sure why. The
Heathrow T5 ones are even worse.
There haven't been any new LU PEDs in the 21st century.
TfL then. Anyway, when it suits them they make a big deal about installing
PEDs for safety, then when its suits them not to they don't bother and
presumably hope no one notices.

No, they're claimed to be about ventilation. That's why they're only fitted
underground, even on the JLE and XR .

The NLE has passive provision for them, but they can't be fitted with the
current generation of trains.

Except their fecking useless for ventilation. There is no breeze on the
platforms thanks to them which get very hot in the summer even despite the
higher ceilings except at canary wharf which is so huge it doesn't matter. Its
like saying the pit is there to catch rain water.

You mean the 95 stock that is very similar to the 96 stock on the Jubilee? I'm
sure they could find a way if they tried.

Similar in external appearance only, AIUI.

"The 1996 Stock has an identical exterior car body to the 1995 Stock, but
the two rolling stocks have different interiors, seating layouts and cabs,
traction packages and train management systems" also different traction
motors and bogies.

Given LU managed to install electronic information systems into tired old
stocks such as the 73, D stock and C stock I doubt it would be beyond the wit
of man to install PED door opening system to the 95 stock. Unless you or
Grandad Recliner can think of some compelling reason why not.

LOL , yeah right, TfL never wastes money! That'll be why it installed all
the PEDs on the JLE in the first place, because they're so useful. That'll be
why they've installed video ad displays in god knows how many central stations.
(There must be 50 large monitors alongside the main TCR escalator alone!)
That'll be why they keep upgrading perfectly working ticket machines for newer
versions that don't do anything new. That'll be why they've spent money on
fag flag versions of the roundal recently to "promote" buggery etc.

I doubt it makes significantly more than the previous static ads. If they had

with special offers, discounts on visits to XYZ if you travel by tube etc.

many people are a captive audience.

It could be enabled or disabled depending on how busy the station is. Most of

Not worked out what the criterion is for the video versions. I assume it
is based on the footfall exceeding a certain level which I suspect Nine

Yes, I suppose so, but it was still surprising to see a new zone 1 station
without video ad displays.
Does Battersea have any?

Someone with your condition doesn't respond the same to adverts as the

It's a bit deeper than that, but a hated of advertising, or just
being impervious to it, isn't something shared by the majority of
the population.

A lot of psychology has scientific foundations on a par with homeopathy
and chiropratise.
And a different lot is based on solid observation of patients.

Also a lot of marketing is based on psychology - it's proven that people
are more attracted to yellow labelling, for example.

Thats generally psychiatry though admittedly the terms tend to overlap

The country's leading autism expert (Simon Baron-Cohen) styles himself
as a clinical psychologist.
Which rather proves my point that they tend to overlap. Is autism a
psychological issue or a psychiatric one? Beats me.

I think the phenomenon is defined by psychologists, and treated (in
sufficiently extreme cases) by psychiatrists.

Although I have a suspicion Baron-Cohen doesn't think it's particularly
treatable, any more than being colour blind. So "treatment" is limited
to restraining the individual to keep them and others around them safe
when they become frustrated and violent.

An advert is best placed at a location people arn't moving and gone in
seconds.
Say on a ticket machine or the other side of the station wall when they're
waiting for a train. Thats what other countries do.

Yeah, LU are right and everyone else is wrong. If you say so.

Arn’t a lot of adverts by escalators repeated ? so you get to see the same
one for much of the duration people are stood on it for the journey up or
down and those ascents and descents take more than a few seconds.

They are often in repeated groups of 4 or 5 or one advertiser might have
bought the whole escalator.

Never mind your usual lame sarcasm, can the control system be retrofitted or
