The Exeter Times, 1920-3-4, Page 7MARVELS OF LONDON'S TUBES ORTY.TWO TRAINS nes. PATCHED EVERY HOUR. Automatic Thain Stop Makes Accidents Practically Ink. possible. If the 'lid of London's Tubes could be taken off and a bird's eye sectional view obtained, the world's most wore- rlerful railway sight would be reveal- ed: It would show a continuous line of trains careering round London at speeds reaching thirty-five miles an hour, and so close that they would seem to be almost touching or verg- ing on collision. Forty-two trains are dispatched every hour during the busy times of the morning and evening on the Dls-. tricrRailway alone. That means to say they are chasing one another at intervals of less. than a hundred seconds. Yet the risk to passengers is less than that attending .a walk upon a London footpath, How is this clock- like ` precision, rapidity, and safety maintained? The explanation is easy. The net work of Londan's electric .railways de - '5 rive their power from one large gener- ating station, which distributes the current aecording to the require- ments of the traffic during .the day. For instance, while in the early hours. of the morning the output is as low as 4,000 horse -power, at midday the generators have to meet a demand for ten times that animist, while in the evening the demand rises to over 65,- 000 horsepower.

There were 806 railway fires, but most of them were of no material i_n• portanee.
