"David Bennetts" Sydney's system is
powered by overhead wire, so that danger
doesn't exist in Sydney's tunnels.. Vince Graham continues to defend the
indefensible in continuing to maintain the policy of locking people in
trains without any passenger actuated door releases available, and the
absence of any devices to enable passengers to break or remove
strengthened glass windows in trains to escape.


And the EDR's on the outside, and dont the V and M sets EDRs still require
a key?
And I understand the G and T set Tangaras. In my opinion these flaps
should be modified so that they are left unlocked whilst the trains are in
service, and only locked when the train is stabled. You don't want one or
two staff to be fumbling around for keys to release passengers in the event
of an emergency.

EDRs? V and M? G and T? Tangaras?
Can we please have a translation for the benefit of the

Not all EDRs on T-sets require a key.
