    Posted in Sydney Suburban » Dets to be removed from Trains next month

    Of course, the alternative means removing them from only certain types of trains, and that's not how I read the instructions as published? That would mean leaving them in all Tangara trains?

    Obviously, this will all be moot when the new timetable kicks the T's off any outer suburban running altogether...

    You would probably find that is what will happen. I can't say for sure, and for all intensive purposes they are being removed from everywhere.....


    Not really...
    Odds of someone forgetting to put them in

    X

    Odds of some incident where DETS would be utilised during that period of missing DETs

    X

    Odds of all other safety measures failing and DETs making a difference

    =

    Very long odds

    =

    Very low risk

    =

    Acceptable


    And why we don't spend our lives in a concrete bunker hiding under the bed.
