hi. what are those clicking noises I sometimes hear, that emanate from the cab. they are more apparent just as the train starts moving. To put it simply, these clicking noises, are to do with the ATP/ATO system that is in operation on the Central. After the driver closes the doors and gets the 'pilot light' [doors closed visual], he/she presses the ATO Start buttons, the trains computer does a quick check on the trains state, the safety interlocks are released and this is the clicks you can hear from the cab. I'm struggling to explain this in a non-technical way, but have probably failed miserably... Any of you who can elaborate further can do so. Met Apprentice might be able to explain further... |

I don't usually tutt; I'm a bit more vocal... can be quite 'physical' with the offending piece of equipment...
