    Posted in Sydney Suburban » changing white to red lights


    In the case of the drunken girl walking along the tracks, does she mean that the headlights or marker lights or both, were not alight?
    marker lights are the red or white lights at the top of a passenger carriage

    there is no requirement to run with headlights on, indeed it is mandated against, in the area where this occurred


    On my line, trains with Headlights low down always seem to have them on.

    Low or dipped beam headlamps (also known as ditch lights), where fitted, are now required to be illuminated on all running lines. This was changed a couple of years ago IIRC. Before the change, all headlamps had to be off inside the metropolitan area.

    Use of main headlamps is still restricted essentially to outside the Sydney and Newcastle suburban areas, where they should generally be illuminated at all times (except where extinguished as provided for in the rules).

    NB There are still a small number of trains with no headlamps, e.g. the S sets with marker lights only. Like all suburban EMUs before them, these trains were never intended for use outside the metropolitan area and thus did not need headlamps.
