Fair enough. Are drivers required to report brake applications from accidentally letting go of the handle in the same way as you're required to report missing a DSD warning on the mainline?

I was on the open section of the Bakerloo this evening, when we made an emergency stop. We were at a stand for a good 2-3 minutes which makes me wonder, is there a timeout after you destroy the train pipe (ie like you get if you're tripped-but I'm fairly sure we weren't tripped as we were doing about 40mph when it happened) before you can move? Or is there a reporting procedure to carry out first? I'm fairly sure I heard the train pipe recharge shortly after we stopped but didn't move for another minute or two.
Thanks in advance.

Had a look, the white and blue LEDs are arranged alternatively. Thanks. Do I get sad b*stard of the year award? It was just a random thought that popped into my head.

When the DTG-R signalling was introduced a few years ago it changed You could put a skip on all the stations of course except the terminal ones Distance TO Go -Radio Was this in connection to the replacement of '67 stock?

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but I remember reading a while back that the Vic ATO couldn't be programmed to skip a stop, instead you'd have to stop and restart. However, a couple of months ago we were told to non-stop Euston for whatever reason and we went straight through. At what point was this changed, and how many stops can you skip in a row?
Thanks.

I know this is going to sound unbelievably sad but are the white/blue indications colour changing LEDs or two types arranged alternately? Also is every unit deicer fitted or only select units?

As we're discussing the bodyside lights, I notice there are two "lines" of LEDs- the top usually lights up orange, is the bottom the white then? Vice versa. Close enough but thanks.

Unfortunately I can't make it to Richmond in time for the last run, but it's good to hear of such a great turnout.

I like that a lot, and prefer it to the current interior. Annoyed that they haven't updated the DVA, there are things on there that bug the heck out of me, such as the way London Overground is said at Canada Water I find that she says "Willesden Green" very slowly and oddly too. "Terminating at....Wiiillllesdenn Greeeennn"

I'd always thought it was because the maximum length 444 formation (10 cars) only had 4 motor coaches whereas the maximum length 450 (12 cars) and 458 (8 cars) had 6 motor coaches (450s 2 per set, 458s 3 per set) This morning i was passed by two 10-car cl.458 and one 10-car cl.455/456 combination operating via East Putney I would assume that the restrictions for mainline stock are similar to why the NoL E* sets weren't in favour-they drew too much power and could trip out the supply!

Evening all,
I am a long time lurker but new to this forum, something I've been wondering for a while is the procedure for passing danger on ATO equipped lines (not just the central).
I was on the central when I got caught out by a signal failure at Bond Street which got me thinking, on ATO lines, if a T/OP is required to pass a signal at danger, does he/she need to put it into RM to pass danger then put it back into auto afterwards, is there some sort of degraded condition under ATP/ATO which accounts for this or is there a completely different procedure altogether?
Thanks in advance.
