AlanL's avatar is interesting, what does the passenger mute switch acutally do? IIRC it acknowledges a PEA (Passenger Emergency Alarm) activation and stops the audible warning going off. |

It won't actually stop the alarm, just reduce the volume of it. The one in AlanL's avatar is the one on a C stock. The switch on a D stock is called the Volume Switch ;D In addition, on the C and non-refurbished D stock, it doesn't acknowledge the alarm - that is for the driver to do using the PA |

...that is for the driver to do using the PA Which reminds me... Is it compulsory for a driver to respond using talk-back, where available? Also, what's the procedure when it isn't (on D stocks for example)? |

As far as I am aware, the driver does not have to use talkback, but what he SHOULD do, is acknowledge the Passenger Alarm by making a PA announcement that he 'is aware a Pass Alarm has been operated, and the train will continue to the next station where help can be more easily given'
