Class 707 ECS Procedure
- Train termination and dispatch as ECS (Empty Coaching Stock) occurs at unstaffed stations under Driver Controlled Operation (DCO).
- Announcement required prior to arrival, indicating the train is no longer in service and will depart empty.
- Doors are to be released after the train comes to a complete stop for passenger disembarkation.
- Drivers must secure doors using the OTCM to prevent accidental boarding after passengers exit.
- A thorough exterior check of each coach is necessary to ensure no passengers are left on board.
- Use external saloon door handles for passenger egress, ensuring they are properly closed post-check.
- In cases where passengers refuse to leave, the driver must contact the Signaller for advice, which may involve relocating the train.
- Final interior check of the train should be conducted via internal saloon CCTV before leading cab setup for departure.
Safety Checks Before Departure
- A complete safety check must be performed using the ‘Z’ scan technique on the OTCM to verify door closure and ensure no individuals are trapped.
- Confirmation of a clear starting signal is essential before departing, with strict adherence to not re-board the train to confront passengers.
