    Can someone kindly advise whether later Turbostar and Electrostar trains (classes 171 and 377 respectively) have Traction Interlock Lights (normally blue on other trains) in their Guard's Door Control Panels in cabs and/or saloons, please? The requirement for an indicator is said to have first...
