"reboot the train, which takes ca. 10 minutes" is so cursed

@whitequark they were probably waiting for a SCADA pc to start up. PLCs and the network come up pretty fast.

The train might work without the screens, but I wouldn't try it.

@whitequark type of train who needs extra time to in the morning to initialize critical systems.

@whitequark What's kind of cursed here is that the trains can actually operate on 0 Hz electricity (DC) but of course that's a different mode and it goes through a different circuit.

@crzwdjk those in particular?

@crzwdjk@mastodon.social avatar

@whitequark Yeah specifically those models, they run on routes that have both AC and DC electrification (Thameslink and the tunnel to Moorgate)

@whitequark at least, they tend to stick to the ground.
