Bell upon departing station

[sd0733]

I wonder if the 707s are the same as a 350/3. They are very high pitched and loud on a 3. Totally different to an older 350

On a 707 you can't miss the beeps!

Sounds a bit like my microwave!

Are you sure you didn't have your microwave in the plug socket then?

Knowing the 707s, it'd probably trip the entire train.

Plug sockets for laptops and mobile devices only

A microwave is a mobile device as you can move it, therefore there are no problems plugging it in according to the rules

I like this thinking

No toasters or hairdryers please!

You know full well the reason this exists is past incidents.

I digress.

It is a funny thing. Noticed at Cardiff, when a train terminates in platform 4, the conductor and passengers leaves train and the dispatcher presses the train ready button, then the signal shows a draw ahead signal with an indicator showing UC, then they insert key into right away switch and turn it. RA lights up at the starting signal next to the UC indicator, the driver then moves off towards canton depot.

Strangely enough, this was only brought in last year when the station was resignaled. RA indicators we fitted under the old signalling, and were used for ATW slam door stock, but it's only since the resignalling that they've been used for ECS moves.

I think the *most* urgent one is the shortest - stop (which on a DMU with a buzzer means leaning on the button until the brakes kick in). Once you've done that, you have a bit of time to work out what next.

Very true. A long held buzz on a DMU buzzer is very effective. On 175s if you hold the buzzer in it fades away to silence after a few seconds, which has caused issues. Thankfully however on those units there are other ways nearby of stopping a train if needs be.
