Tripcock Testing to be Cut?!
Submitted by Janine on 6 October, 2011 - 17:00RMT General Grades Committee decision:
That we note the resolution from our LU Fleet branch, and share the shock and alarm expressed by the branch that London Underground could even consider reducing the frequency of tripcock testing. The tripcock is an essential safety mechanism which stops a train in the event of it passing a signal at danger, therefore preventing crashes and protecting life.
