Apparently you don't use Waterloo very often.

Not for years. But given the SWR drivers are planning to go on strike for

a month soon I can't say it surprises me to find out they're a bunch of
tits
as well.

Do keep up, it's the guards that are striking.

Will any of the drivers cross the picket line and run the trains OPO? I
think

we know the answer to that.

They can't operate the trains OPO because the equipment to do so is not
fitted to the trains or the stations.

Really? So where do the guards close the doors from? Last time I looked it
was
the drivers cab at the other end or in the middle and I find it hard to
believe
the new class 707s don't have it installed by default as they're just a DC
only
700.

What bit of "or the stations" are you having trouble with?

So you admit it is fitted to the trains then?

Full DOO equipment is fitted to one [1] of SWR's 7 types of stock.

[1] 442s were retrofitted with non-compliant DOO equipment for Southern, I
don't know whether it's been removed during the SWR refurb but I imagine
so.

Talking of which, are the 442s ever going to reenter service?
