Install car now...

[pdq]

I'm on a single 3-car 185, and in one carriage (C) the LED display in the middle is showing a static message: 'Install car now...'

The message isn't on display in B and I can't see into A.

I presume this is a message for the guard when passing through, but can anyone enlighten me what this means - I'm just curious?

'Install car now...'

Train feels it is overloaded and wishes to become a four car train perhaps ...

Most likely the TMS has lost communication with that coach

Ho ho.

Isn't this an important issue that should be resolved asap?

It may just be a software issue that doesn't effect the operation as such. A TMS re-boot at the next major station should solve the issue.

It's not a major issue is it? It shows the time and the calling points? Just inform the guard.
