*Driven Manually Until Kennington* 1995 Stock 51515 + 51703

Damn, ATO takes a toll on train driving skills. Piccadilly line drivers and other lines' drivers can enter the station much faster and kind of stop precisely in a short amount of time.

Actually the Driver is driving in Coded Manual. Meaning the system is telling the Driver what speed to drive at. Nothing to do with taking a toll on skills... Driving manually now on an ATO line is very different, compared to driving the line before ATO was introduced. It's like learning to drive again.

@@SN06BNFyou can drive in PM (Protected Manual) at any time, providing you tell the CC, if a driver starts losing time the controller can tell you to put it back into ATO until time is made up.
