Could be early next year, drivers still need training as well as gaurds. This run up to the pier was done by an island line driver he's the only qualified one. Also unfortunately there is still a few issues with the units
The evacuation test seems rather entertaining. Certainly not 'rocket science'. I think the evacuation without the ladder seemed easier than with, but it would not suit great-grandma. A simple procedure is always best. Just remember not to do a Frank Spencer and evacuate on the 3rd rail side! ;)
ORR was on board this so it was an exercise to just tick some boxes I belive the 2 previous gens of ex tube stock they didn't do any evacuation training (this was back in 1966 and 1989)
What? No inflatable slide like they have on airliners, I’m fair disappointed 🥸😉 it’d make a great water slide… 🤡 I’d love to see the final video they’ve recorded as the chap who ‘danced like a robot’ who have people in hysterics 🤣🤣 especially set to music.
Best evacuating from the other side when the tide’s out.
Not when there'd a 3rd rail there
If you wana die I'll let you out on that side
That is one clever evacuation system
Is it only me but it looks like they are trying out for sticky coming dancing
They had a nice day for it. Colour coordinated sky in the background too. Thanks for uploading.
Should have seen it about an hour before, thr heavens opened up, see my pic below :)

Nice video! Any updates on when the Island line is expected to reopen?

Interesting video, can't wait to see these trains when they are in operation.😎👍
Thanks for letting us see what they were up to :-) . One would assume they would open all doors 'for real' ?
