Operate the MRPCC (Main Reservoir Pipe Coupling Cocks)
BIC the DMS and do rotational test
Lock doors out of use and remove passengers
Change ends and EBS in the rear (you will now be driving from this rear cab….. remember EBS does not resolve faults in the leading cab which is why you operate it in the rear cab)
