Default Underground Train Drivers and Personal Hi Fi's

Certainly not allowed.
However I would be very surprised if what you saw was a hi-fi thingy. If you
let me know the date and time I will follow it up. It will be visible on
CCTV and the drivers arent going to risk it...for Job and safety reasons.

Are underground train drivers allowed to use personal hi fi's, the driver
(if that is the correct term) on the Victoria line this evening was. They
will want the first carriage left empty for a quick game of squash

stations next, if Bob Crow gets his way.
Anybody prepared to quote the regulations on this.

Aren't the sheds (the GBrf/Freightliner ones) equipped with FM radios
that the driver listens to through earphones, but any alarms (TPWS, etc)
interrupt the sound so he doesn't miss anything. Or is my memory playing
tricks?
