Selective Door Opening (SDO)

[jopsuk]

A bolt securing the door not physical enough??

Not when it's unlocked, no. As HSTs don't have SDO. Keep up!

I was on a EMT HST and when we stopped at Market Haborough and I thought they had SDO for some reason and poked my head out and then looked up and saw the orange door lights on!

I know you were talking about EMT HSTs in this case, but FGW HSTs do have SDO. I don't know if any other fleets do.

I believe XCs HSTs do as i noticed on some door panels there was a SDO sticker.

Strange as 220/221s don't have SDO (why?). 220/221s not having SDO causes problems in 10 car formations, with the last coach or two locked out of use.

I think it is possible to SDO a 220/221 but they've never had approval from the HMRI to do it.

And yes, XC HSTs do have SDO...

[Ferret]

Question

Who controls / operates the SDO ie.. Driver or Guard

 

[TEW]

That depends I think. For most trains it is the guard, they do it before or when opening the doors. But there may be some trains when the driver does it.

 

[222001]

On 222s it's the driver - I think.

No - Guard, see post way above.
