I read a story online somewhere (can't find it now) about a Victoria

without deactivating the ATO. As soon as the signal cleared, the train
restarted itself, narrowly missing him.


So Vic trains under ATO don't need a hand on a dead man's handle? This i
did not know. That seems like a funny decision.


Hmm. Never been on the DLR?


Certainly not! It's a deathtrap!



Funnily enough, when I saw the heading as the thread started, I
wondered if one had fallen off.

Has anyone arrived at Crossharbour from the south recently (sitting
near the front)? They rock so violently now that I am getting
nervous. I don't think it was always like that.
