"Running repairs"

On 73 stock, the Round The Train is lost so an emergency brake application is made. We do have a button on the floor to allow this to be overridden though, but it has to be kept pressed for the duration - and the Sonalert still sounds all the time the handle is down. The button on the floor is an addition since I was on the Picc Line. I can't remember what the procedure was then. I know the alarm came up on the TEP and I suspect that you could release the brakes by cutting out the RTC, although of course the alarm would still remain. Or it may be that the car could be by-passed via the TEP. They still had Guards on the trains then (1978), so any problems were left for the Guard to sort out :-) On the 95 stock, the RTC is only lost if the alarm is operated during the 16(?) seconds timer when departing the station. At all other times, there is just a warning in the cab that can be cancelled. The talk-back procedure would then be followed. Roger |
