Here's a better video showing a northbound LT1967 stock Victoria Line train stopping at Highbury & Islington station using an emergency brake application. The abruptness of the stop is more obvious than my previous video as the train is in emergency until it stopped. Passengers were probably thrown off their feet. :P
As explained in my other video, ATO technology used on the Victoria Line doesnt always stop the train dead accurately. This train was approaching the stopping mark at a far too high speed and would have overran and stopped in the tunnel if the train op didn't do anything. It looks like that it was doing 10-15mph when the stopping point was around 10m away!
If you look carefully (its for a split second only), you can see the train operator's right hand pulling and returning the emergency brake valve lever, completed with a loud hiss as the brake pressure is dumped.
Some information about the the Victoria Line ATO and its problems can be found here, www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/Vic...
