I worked one of those trains with the new door open indicators and automatic
announcements last week. My train status report for that car reads:
C3981 - DOIL circuit not functioning
C3981 - DWD circuit not functioning
C3981 - Ampmeter defective
C3981 - Windscreen wiper defective
C3981 - Guards blue lights on both sides not working
C3981 - DOILs adjacent to No. 1,2,3 & 4 doors missing.
C3981 - DOILs on driver's console missing
This is just one of a few cars fitted with this equipment. If it doesn't work,
then what hope have we got for DOO?
