I have noticed that fairly frequently, Bakerloo stock can not stop at Harlesden on the n/b, this being to "defective safety equipment", the opo monitors I imagine, are they really unreliable, or is it simply vandalism.

Yes,in the morning the sun shines directly into the monitor and as Silverlink don't do station staff,the Bakerloo non stops until somebody comes up from Queen's Pk to give the right.

Is there anything wrong with the T/Op sticking his / her head out of the window and actually looking back along the platform? Or is that just too easy these days?

I am not familiar with the station at all. I have never really used the Bakerloo line round there.. but.. if there is a slight curve or anything, then this isnt allowed! For safety reasons, if the T/Op can not see even one of the passenger doors from his cab then he can't self dispatch

The driver has to be able to see every doorway from the driving position, a slight curvature would mean a blind spot, sticking his head out is no longer deemed acceptable. |

Of course, the irony is that even when the driver can see all of the doors, some idiot still jumps in and blocks them! Even when they had guards, they wouldn't have been able to see the whole platform. They managed OK back then! |

The platform is slightly curved towards the rear meaning that the last car/car-and-a-half are not really visible.
