G'day BW,
We don't got ATP here in NSW yet.
It is again being trialed.
That being on the Big Trains.
The SLR trams have got ATP.
Common sense and ROUTE knowledge being the prima facie constraints.
Me ETR amigo advises that A sets don't possess a vigo foot pedal.
Hence the dash button must be depressed to acknowledge.
Howsoever, manipulation of the task linked brake valve would negate the vigo cycling.
Yes, the 50 kph speed board on approach to East Richmond station being the then final board presented was probably asking for trouble.
The final report will make for interesting reading, as do all accident investigation reports.
Steve.
