Tripcocks on 165s
Two points.
Firstly, LT trains work in the same way and I am not aware that they have had problems. Secondly, Once a tripcock is struck it remains in the up position until it is reset when the unit is uncoupled so the rear unit tripcock will only be hit once per period of time that the unit is coupled as the non leading unit. The only difference being that the LUL trains will get strike the first signal they encouter leaving the depot at 10mph whilst the Chiltern units similiar first experience will be a signal at 75mph!
