There was a anomaly on Victoria Line in the early days the train maintainers who did the maintenance on67TS had to pass a four week course at White City Training Centre,if they qualified they got an extra 10/-(50p) a week.Motormen qualifying as ATOs got around an extra £10 a week.

When the Victoria Line first opened you had to have at least 25 years service to be an ATO.
