DMRG Rules 29अध्याय IV · Working of Trains

धारा 29 · Train defects

(1)

No train with defective safety equipments, cab signalling, leading cab controls, interior lighting, brakes or doors shall remain in passenger service and shall be removed to depot and replaced by a serviceable train at the earliest opportunity.

(2)

(i)

If traction power is lost on any car, the train need not be withdrawn from service. If power is lost on more than one car and the reduction in speed causes delay to following trains, the passengers shall be detrained at a station and the train worked empty. Otherwise the train may remain in passenger service until it can be replaced by a serviceable train.

(ii)

In the event of a mechanical defect in the traction motor or drive which causes the wheels to lock, the train shall be stopped immediately and shall not be moved until clearance has been given by a Rolling Stock Supervisor.

(iii)

If a Train Operator finds that the train cannot be driven or braked from the leading end cab, passengers shall be detrained as per the provisions referred in Clauses (iv) and (v) of this sub-rule.

(iv)

Such an occurrence may usually happen at a station and a terminal in which case the passenger shall be discharged at the station itself. To dispatch the train to the depot, the Station Controller shall board the train and act as look out in the leading cab while the Train Operator drives from the rear cab in Restricted Manual control. Information on signals and cleared routes shall be passed by cab to cab telephone and train speed restricted to 10 km/h.

(v)

In the unlikely event the defect causes a train to stop between stations, the Station Controller from the station in the rear shall give assistance using the procedure described in sub-rule (7) to sub-rule (10) of Rule 28 to gain access to the train.

(3)

(i)

A failure of the traction control line shall be indicated on the Train Integrated Management System panel. In the majority of cases, the Train Integrated Management Systems shall enable the fault to be isolated and only in the case of simultaneous failure of redundant equipment shall the train be rendered inoperative.

(ii)

When such failure of the action control happens on a running line, the Train Operator shall inform the Traffic Controller that his train is stalled and requires assistance to move.

(iii)

The train shall be dealt with in accordance with Rule 45.

(4)

(i)

Failure of brakes to apply or to release shall be indicated on the Train Integrated Management System panel. If brakes on any cars, up to a maximum of 50% fail to apply, passenger must be detrained at the next station and the train worked to depot at a speed not exceeding 25 km/h.

(ii)

If brakes fail to apply on more than 50% of the cars, the train shall be brought to a stop as soon as possible by application of the emergency brake and shall not proceed until authorised by a competent person from the Rolling Stock maintenance department.

(iii)

If brakes fail to release on any cars, up to maximum of 50% the brakes shall be isolated on the affected cars, the brakes released by Local Control, passengers shall be detrained at the next station and the train worked to depot at a speed not exceeding 25 km/h.

(iv)

If brakes fail to release on more than 50% of the cars, no attempt shall be made to move the train until authorised by a competent person from the Rolling Stock Maintenance Department.

(5)

(i)

If doors on a train are not indicated as "closed", the train shall not start from a station. If doors cannot be closed by hand or there is no obviously open door and the "doors closed" indication is still not received, passengers shall be detrained and the train shall be worked empty until it can receive attention from the Rolling Stock Maintenance Department.

(ii)

If some doors of train do not open at stations but after closing the doors all doors are indicated as closed, the train may remain in passenger service. In peak period the extended dwell times at stations that could result from some doors not opening may make it desirable for the train to be withdrawn from service to avoid delaying the following trains.

(6)

Failure of an air-conditioning unit shall be indicated on the Train Integrated Management System panel. Although it has no effect on the safe operation of the train, Train Operator shall report such failure to Operations Control Centre, so that rake receives prompt attention to relieve hardship to passengers.

(7)

(i)

Failure of main car lighting on one or two cars shall be reported by the Train Operator to Operations Control Centre and the train may continue in passenger service to the end of its trip provided the emergency lighting is working satisfactorily and at the terminal it shall be withdrawn from service or replaced by a good train.

(ii)

If all main train lightings fail or main lighting and emergency lighting both fail, on the same car, passengers shall be detrained at the next station and the rake withdrawn from service.
