Explain how parking brake works

When air pressure drops below 1.9, the spring applied parking brake is released as there is not enough air to hold it back. It then pushes against the brake cylinder and holds train. Spring applied, air released.

Train control in energised cab
Brake control in ANY cab
Door supply in any cab if DKS energised

Which faults will illuminate an orange hazard light, but will NOT apply the brakes

TCA fault

Fire system operated

When attempting to start the engine, they will not fire, what’s the problem?

Not in NEUTRAL, fire system defect,
LCCB tripped, ESIS,
BIS, flat batteries
Stop button stuck in

How do you know there's an engine fire? How would you deal with and how do you proceed when safe

Fire bell in all cabs Affected engine shuts down Orange hazard light on effected vehicle Auto bottles extinguished at 3mph Inform signaller of circumstances /isolate fire system & engine (ESIS) on affected vehicle Competent person ride in affected vehicle Continue on instructions by signaller

What FAULT will show for LOW HYDROSTATIC OIL LEVEL?

Engine may overheat and revert to idle

What happens if ENGINE RUN SOLENOID was DE-ACTIVATED

Fuel stopped and engine shut down

What would DE-ENERGISE the ENGINE RUN SOLENOID? (5 answers)

LCCB tripped, Fire system - operated/CB tripped, loss of integrity, isolated Low water Engine oil /shut down timer (key out) /stop button pressed/WSPCB 150only

What's the drivers actions if AWS/TPWS circuit breaker trips in the leading cab and will NOT reset

Isolate AWS/TPWS system & continue as instructed at max of 40mph

Drivers action if the Brake Circuit Breaker TRIPS in front cab won't reset

With signallers authority change ends, operate EBS & drive out in wrong direction Or Assistance to the front operate the EBS in leading cab of assisting unit (or have another train come on top of yours to rescue

What are the SYMPTOMS if the train CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS in the REAR cab

Train power safety circuit is lost, engine will go idle. Rescue by operating TIS

What must you check if you have an UNSOLICITED BRAKE APPLICATION?

Check AWS / TPWS brake demand light

What indications would you see if the TCA Fails on your train?

Train & gearbox fault lights lit in the driving cab, orange hazard light lit on affected vehicle, blue TCA light lights red.
