Exciting trip on the district line tonight, went from Earls Court to Fulham broadway with an very East end sounding Sonia telling the train op:
"walk along the car to the faulty speaker, check for faulty displays, activate and reset the Passinger Emergency Alarm"
The displays were themselves saying no error and telling me their life stories (firmware version boot version etc) and telling me it was a nice 21.1 Degrees C.
Anyone on this train notice this as well. Bit annoying and i cannot understand why sonia sounded so much less classy.

I actually know the lady who did the test messages on the 'D' Stosk refurb program. She works for Metronet and is an electrical engineer, really nice lady.

This train terminates at H&%&^*(_***. {NOT the actual icons displayed, but you know what I mean} Not sure if that is a test mode... used to happen a lot on new LED displays on trains for some reason. Turbostars suffered a lot of this. Odd how the programming can muck up that badly with so little interaction being required. For that exact reason it was decided to remove the scrolling LED displays in the Ticket Office at Edinburgh, just got worse and worse as the days went on. |

When I last had D stock referesher the I/O wondered aloud what key F2 did - so I tried it! And it went through all the stuff edb described. So a driver might intend to press F1 and easily hit F2 instead.

The D stock one is a test mode, although the 95 stock one is just duff equipment.
