Chris,

As far as I know, once those emergency buttons are pressed, all barrier
gates will be opened.  I am not aware any alarm installed at stations
like Glenferrie.  Then again, I could be wrong.  Not sure whether
Camberwell will pick up such emergency (other than through the video
cameras), as it currently controls the electronic PIDS (public
information display screens?) here.

Cheers,

I.C.
