2017, Martin Coffee remarked:
If there is no mobile phone coverage, what is the guard going to do?
Network Rail have their own communication system which will work in
those areas.
Do they issue GSM-R handsets to guards (genuine question).
No. But the one in the back- or intermediate- cab can easily be turned on.
That doesn't, of course, help if the train involved is an HST or is
loco-hauled with the DVT leading (or with no DVT).
Surely, every train has at least two cabs somehow? We don't have single-cab
as the only locos on passenger trains.
