As we all know the 1967 stock and C/72 stock was fitted with a failsafe Westinghouse air brake that is tested at the penultimate station on every trip. But with ATO running, only EP+Rheo was used, so how did the driver test the Westnghouse when in ATO?

The Westinghouse brake was tested, (or meant to be tested!), every time the train either came out of Northumberland Park depot into Seven Sisters platform 5, (southbound), or when coming out of the sidings into the same platform. |
