The alarms haven't been linked to the brakes since the trains were refurbished AFAIK. B2003 One train at Wood Green had smoke pouring out from under the car. This turned out to be papers that had probably burnt from being wrapped round traction current shoes and arcing. In the opposite direction there was a passenger alarm on a train. Also, just before this, there was a signal track circuit failure at Turnham Green Eastbound, it turned out to be a metal bar, so some services were held up in congestion as they applied their rule and others ran down the local line. As usual, keeping as many trains in service as possible (though at least some were cancelled) meant that there were then train operator relief issues and late running of up to an hour. OK, thanks. |
