Firstly, LT trains work in the same way and I am not aware that they have


The only difference being that the LUL trains will get strike the first

similiar first experience will be a signal at 75mph!


I believe trip cocks were previously fitted to the DMUs on Widened Lines

some (presumably Sulzer) type 2s were fitted for these trains before
the DMUs took over, and also for other LTE workings. Any more gen on
either would be welcome :-)
