Do the Vic Line trains make a 'ding' or other noise in the cab when the ATO performs certain actions, or the train passes a clear signal?

I had a ride in the front of a 67 TS about 8 years ago and don't remember anything like that.

Maybe tube trains don't but T & W Metro does.

Those 'ding' chimes you hear on the BVE Victoria Line is the ATC (Automatic Train Control) coming into play, in reality there is no such chime on the 67TS.
On the Central Line 92 stock there are ATP chimes which activate when the Train receives a new 'Code' in Coded Manual, IIRC they are called ABC and ACB chimes.
For example - if the Train is being driven in Coded Manual and has a target speed of 80kph, the Train passes a Block Marker Board (or signal) and gets a lower code to reduce speed to 60kph, the 'Target Speed' in the cab will drop from 80kph to 60kph and you will hear a chime (which sounds like do-da-ding!) which makes the T/op aware that the Train has just received a new code and he/she must lower the Trains speed to what the code demands (60kph) before the next Block Marker Board or Signal.

Are you sure CJ??? Positive?? In all my time driving 92's I've NEVER had one go THAT fast. 80kph maybe yes, but not 80 MPH ;D ;D  [80mph to 60kph is quite a hefty drop in speed...  ] If 92's really can go 80mph, there must be a secret button on the cab somewhere marked Super ATO - emergency use only, or a secret notch on CTBC for use in CM operation. ;D. Pity I'm never told about these fleet mods! |

LOL, my mistake! I did indeed mean 80kph! (I've got to stop getting my imperials and metrics mixed up! ;D) Then again... I guess there would be quite a lot of motors dropping off at 80mph... ;D |

I guess there would be quite a lot of motors dropping off at 80mph... ;D  ;D ;D ;D I think the motors would be missing a few teeth on the gearwheels. By the way, the MPH to KPH conversion factor is 1.6, so for example, 60MPH multiplied by 1.6 = 100KPH. |
