Technology for its own sake?
Ross wrote to uk.transport.london on Fri, 24 Sep 2004:
And to further complicate matters, retention tanks require that the contents be emptied, which means that they need somewhere with a suitable cleaning pan and that in turn means that it's unlikely that tanks can be cleared at every poxy little stabling point at which trains get left overnight. In the case of the 170, the toilets will lock themselves out once the retention tanks are full. I think it is the same everywhere. Although, to be fair, Eurostars seem to manage to have loos that flush for the whole journey and so, normally, does the Shuttle. But there, I suspect, if one loo locks itself out of service, the others don't, unlike on surface-only trains. -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 11 September 2004 |

I suspect it's something that differs according to the unit design. -- Ross From & reply-to addresses will bounce. Reply to the group. |
