I've always understood it to be the case that when a train is running in ATO mode, the cab doors cannot be open. However yesterday, I saw an eastbound Central line train come in to Liverpool Street with the off side cab door open. The train was definitely in ATO mode since the driver was standing by the door looking onto the platform. He only opened the door when the train was about three quarters of the way along the platform. Wouldn't this cause an emergency stop?

Opening the M, N or O door on a 92 in ATO will activate the emergency brake, the train must have been in CM or RM with more than one member of staff in the cab.

Was going too fast to be in RM, so CM then. I didn't see anyone else in the cab, but presumably there must have been. After the doors had closed, the train started in ATO with the start buttons on the offside being used. |

M is the front door out onto the track and the outside world? I assume N and O are the side doors? Is N on the left or O?

Your assumptions are correct:
M = Middle door
N = Nearside door
O = Offside door

You know, I never thought about it in that way! Thanks Colin  |
