My last and only Emergency Brake happened not long after leaving South Gosforth towards the Coast, this was back around 2022 when i had finished college.
Intresting. When I was younger i used to swing around the emergency pole and this never happened
The buttons at the top of the pole
I was on one when the emergency brake applied approaching Howdon the driver was approaching the crossing too fast so the overspeed sensors triggered an emergency brake stopped just short of the platform driver had to call the signaler and apologise I think a supervisor/manager joined the train at monument to monitor his driving back to South Gosforth
It's good they have them systems in place so a driver can't just speed over a crossing!
Just one thing, on British rolling stock you cant pull the emergency brake, but the passenger alarm or emergency egress (door release) that automatically apply the train brakes which on most sets thus is overridable if need be.
The metro has a special emergency brake button in every carriage
With the current metro fleet (which I believe is over 40 years old), there are buttons labelled “emergency brake” at the top of a pole near each set of doors
The new fleet (which i have no idea when it will begin service), from what i have seen, will have emergency intercoms (with buttons to activate them), and emergency brake handles (it appears they actually are labelled emergency brake)
If I were in this situation, I would be confused
Yeah, most of the passengers were too. The driver didn’t do a good job at announcing it as he just said “emergency button”
@@TWMfan Oop, well at least things are good now
Yep, the person who pressed it was fined
@@TWMfan yeah, when I was younger I saw that message that you would get a £1000 fine if pressed
@@TWMfan well what do you expect the driver to say the told you the delay and the reason why. Also alot of wrong ninformation on the pop up message. the driver DID NOT close the close and you didnt go anywhere the dooes have an autoclose feature which means they close automatically but dont lock
Someone pulled the emergency break!?!
You never see an emergency brake on the metro
