    Source evidence

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Docklands Light Railway Limited; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Dependence on multiple manual actions to activate the emergency brake

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) If a member of the public on the train sees a person or hazard on the track ahead they have to go to one of the doorways to activate the passenger alarm. The Passenger Services Assistant then goes to the telephone which is accessed by a key to ask why the passenger alarm has been activated. In order to stop the train the Passenger Services Agent then needs to replace the phone, lock the phone compartment and use a key to activate the emergency brake. ”

    Dependence on train passengers to notice hazards and contact the Passenger Services Agent in time

    Wider context from the report

    “(2) The ability to respond to a danger or hazard on the line seems sometimes to be dependent on this being noticed by a member of the public on a train and them being able to contact the Passenger Services Agent in time for the train to be stopped. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Inability of the central CCTV monitoring system to watch all stations simultaneously

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) The central DLR CCTV monitoring system cannot watch all stations at the same time and the safety of persons slipping, falling or collapsing on to a line on the DLR system seems to rely on ability of members of the public to notice the hazard and activate the alarm on either the platform or the train. ”
