The TFL rule book says that when a driver overshoots a station, they first have to determine that all doors can still be safely opened, and if so, they should verify the side of the platform before disabling the CSDE (correct side door enable) and opening the door. In a category A platform, a station staff must help the driver check that all doors are safely close otherwise the driver alone can perform this duty. The train can be started as normal once all doors are confirmed to have successfully shut. If doors cannot be safely opened, the train must continue onto the next station. This situation, although a bit of a oopsy, is covered and the driver handled it perfectly.
This station is category B though so no need for station staff to assist, the driver can observe from the cab window and determine when it’s safe to close the doors, a practice which is done when OPO visibility is limited.
This is hardly uncommon lmao. My driver a few days ago overshot like 3 times, once underground. Since I knew them, they could trust me with telling them if the doors are clear.
this is a converted and refurbished ex Northern line 1972 mk1 car alright. It has the black rubber seal around the door windows. Must be half mk1 and mk2 combination.
@@tfljunction699 I think also the ex Victoria Line 1967 stock had its components removed as spare parts for the 72s on the Bakerloo Line as well as most of the withdrawn 72mk1 ex Northern. I saw a mk2 with a 1967 stock grab pole. They forgot to repaint it chocolate brown from Sky blue.
another sighting that defines that it's a MK1 is slightly higher ''no smoking'' roundels with a darker blue and slightly different camshaft@@oludotunjohnshowemimo434
I dunno, I'd always think I'm unlucky too, but just a few days ago I had a bad situation where the driver was crossing the points at E&C onto platform 3 at 25MPH instead of the regular 10. I had a little chat with him afterwards...
Yes it is, drivers are allowed to use the emergency brake during normal operation if the deem it necessary. This brake was more strained than a full outlet of air on this unit.
@@Westlondontransportguy7045 Not on the 73 stocks. Mainline trains operate at a much higher speed, so TPWS (I think) force the train fully to stop in case the driver accidentally accelerates. The underground is different. No TPWS, they just release air in the brake pipes, and when running mode is activated again (I.E holding the TBC on rheo brakes, off and release or the power selection), it will add the pressure back. When it reaches 4.5 bar, the train is ready to move again.
