I was at Shepherd's Bush today. A train pulled in shortly after one had departed, the signal on the headwall was white. About 2 carriages short of the stopping mark the train stopped suddenly. The driver looked at the computer screen mounted on the ceiling in the cab, then manually drove the train in. All continued as normal. What caused it to happen? What is the screen? What might it have shown? Sorry for all these questions....  |

Moved it for ya!
Its the DTS - The Data Transmission System monitor. basically displays messages about the health of the train, error messages about equipment on the train, thus doors, motors etc...
The DTS monitor will also display messages regarding ATO...
Loss of codes can be caused by a number of factors. Could have been caused by an overspeed on approach too, the system will detect this, shove on the brakes....

Used to happen on the 67's on the Vic sometimes. Not sure if the 2009 stock is immune either!

There is a BMB part way along the platform so it could be that the train in front was giving a zero code for the section between that and the station starter. We get that at Bank EB sometimes.
