Critical fault = integrity/safety equipment not functioning correctly.

Train must be removed from service ASAP and must not dock into revenue services. If safe, it may be run to a maintenance facility in non-revenue service.

24
Q

What is a serious fault?

A

A fault on train where integrity/safety is not affected.

25
Q

What happens if train encounters serious fault?

A

Train may remain in revenue service, but will be removed as soon as reasonably practical

26
Q

When does a serious fault expire?

  • End Run
28
Q

It can be run in revenue to its current destination. It can then only be driven from the opposite cab as far as the Metro system allows.

30
Q

How many days can a train with a Maintenance Fault be driven in revenue service for?

A

up to 90

31
Q

When might a Serious: End Run fault be given and what are its limitations?

A

When the fault pertains to the trailing cab.
It may only be driven from leading (non-defective) cab as far as Metro network allows

32
Q

What happens if a fault is rectified in running? Who is monitoring these faults?

A

Driver to write RIR on TMM notice (courseware says to remove, David says not to remove. Idk tbh)

Fault monitored by Fleet Maintenance Coordinators

33
Q

What are the two colours of paper in a Train Malfunction Message?

What happens with each colour?

  • Equipment isolated (if applicable)
35
Q

When must a driver report faults?
