The 1995 Stock is a type of train on the Northern line of the London Underground. There are 106 six-car trains in operation; they entered service between June 1998 and April 2001 replacing old 1959 Stock and (Mark 1) 1972 Stock. It is the only deep-level tube stock to use selective door opening, for example at , , and . It used to be operated mainly with a combined power controller, brake lever and dead man's handle at the driver's right hand. When the train is stopped the top of the handle is turned away from the position in which the driver holds it. To depart the driver turned the top of the handle and pushed the red lever forward. However, London Underground activated ATO on the Northern line in sections since June 2013. The entire line became ATO driven in June 2014. ==Construction== The stock shares many features with the 1996 Stock used on the Jubilee line: both types were built by Alstom in Birmingham. They have different seating layouts and cab designs, and 1996 Stock is in seven-car trains. Despite the 1995 Stock designation, the step-plates found on the trains read '1996'. It is believed that the 1995 designation served solely to distinguish this stock from the 1996 Stock. Like the 1996 Stock, it had passenger operated door-open controls from new, but these are disabled. One car was publically displayed on 9 November 1996 as part of the Lord Mayor's Show; the first train was delivered to Ruislip Depot on 20 December 1996; testing began in early 1997; and they entered passenger service between 12 June 1998 and 10 April 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Underground 1995 Stock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
