The 377/5s are Southern units, built to Southern specifications. Whether FCC need SDO is not relevant! ) not often I have to comment on one of your respected posts HH28 - but what I wrote was ''FCC/TL won't be *using* SDO''. I think I am correct in that, and your comment does not appear to me to say anywhere FCC/TL are using it, only that the units are equipped. Surely that is not so much relevant as THE key point I was respondong to ... that the Victoria 377 delay sceanrio will not arise at SPILL . Or can you tell me where FCC/TL will be using SDO underground, and why ? With 377s all stations are SDO, so if a 16 car called at a 12 car platform then the rear 4 won't open.. The train is designed such that the doors won't release unless I) the train has a GPS fix and knows what station it is at or ii) an emergency release is given by the driver. SDO (I doubt) cannot just be disabled as it is integral part of how the units function. |
