Aye yes that's a good idea.

Where are the compressors?

They aren't on the motor coach or the end with first class in.

In units, when the power car starts slipping, its up to the driver to cut the power isn't it? Unlike for example 37s that when the 37 starts slipping, the power is cut. So in theory, on a wet standing start, the driver of for example a 319 could just leave it on full power can keep the 319 slipping? I know this will do the tyres no good, nor the traction equipment...

5. MA Set fault. Further investigation by the driver and isolate if neccessary. Contact control for technical assistance if needed
