What about for trains that are coming out of the tunnel? I have
taken many train rides whereby the train leaves the tunnel (e.g.
Lavender going to Kallang) and then once it exits the tunnel the
train stops, TO switches to CM and drives at a slower speed to
Kallang.
Just a question, does the train automatically
stop when the light points (the NXX whatever thing) show red, or
the TO has to manually stop it?
to admit it. Yes the T.O did the "triping" of the train when goes
out from tunnel. But that's usually when came out from the tunnel
& it's raining. So he automatically switch to CM.
For your 2nd paragraph, If the train is on AUTO, the train will
stop automatically. when the train is in CM, then yes the T.O need
to stop as soon as possible. becoz when at the speedometer
indicates red light, that means the speed codes is 40/0
(max speed 40 / next target speed 0)
what is speed codes? in SMRT system (for those who wants to
know) it is always :
MAX SPEED / Next TARGET SPEED.
so its when the train is approaching red aspect (light) this how
it works before train come to the stop at speed code 0/0
78/77, 78/61, 62/39, 40/0, 0/0. This apply to CM & AUTO. So
if it's in CM driving, the T.O has to watch out for the speed
codes.
The idea is when the train come to its stop, the target speed
will gradually decrease so that the train slows down and
stop.
If it is apply an E-Brake, the speed codes does not exist. It
will straight away cut all the brake loops step and straight
away apply the brake shoe to the wheels.
