At about 06.55 this morning a southbound train was taken out of Service at Kings Cross with a door fault. Once everyone was off and the doors closed manually, the train moved off as normal. Would this have gone to Victoria sidings out of the way, or would it have got attention at Brixton?

Would this have gone to Victoria sidings out of the way, or would it have got attention at Brixton? Victoria sidings more than likely, then empty to Northumberland Park depot. Using up a platform at Brixton would have dire effects on the service as everything would have to terminate in the one remaining platform while they tried to sort out the defective train. |

Using up a platform at Brixton would have dire effects on the service as everything would have to terminate in the one remaining platform while they tried to sort out the defective train. But if it were a passenger door fault, then couldn't they take it OOS, run it to Brixton, and then run it back up again to Nothumberland park depot in lieu of the train it was supposed to operate. That way, you don't have to try and get it out of Victoria sidings during the day, and there would also be more time to try and fix it. |

Absolutely, I suppose it depends on whether the door fault was affecting the running of the train. If not, it would make sense just to run it to Brixton in its normal timetabled slot. |

Normally if the train could remain in auto, it will stay in it's correct path to Brixton and the fitter would pick it up at Vauxhall. If however the train could only be run in manual, i.e with the door interlocks cut out, it would almost certainly be got off the line asap in this case Victoria siding

If it was just door interlocks cut out the train would be in protected manual. |
