Ref # 2023005-07
Status Open / In progress
Occurrence Self-detrainment of passengers between Shankill & Bray, 24th July 2022
Occurrence Date 24 July 2022

Basis for Recommendation

It is noted that systems will be in place, in the future, for the capability of CTC to communicate directly with trains (new DART+ fleet and other fleets), either visually and/or verbally. Although CME Project has stated that the implementation of the direct messaging has not been confirmed.

Recommendation

IÉ-IM should carry out a review to determine the suitability of direct messaging (visually and/or verbally) from CTC directly onto trains, consideration should be given as to whether it would improve onboard passenger communications.
