Chain Pulling in Trains - Inputs Needed
Dear Railway Circle Members:
Some of you in your posts had brought up this subject as a concern and something that is frequently misused.
We would like to seek your views in a structured format. Kindly share what issues have you observed in regards to Chain Pulling.
Once we know the Issues, we will review Root Causes/Solutions. The objective would be to develop a system that can be enforced more effectively, discourages misuse and is functional during a real Emergency.
We look forward to your inputs!

There's absolutely no point in pulling the chain when the train is in the middle of stations, less so in the middle of nowhere. In such a case, the chain-pull mechanism should be overriden and taken out of control, until the train reaches a place that can be serviced. Options of calling the guard or even the 'break glass in case of emergency' button can be used as alternatives. more
