Air Conditioned EMU

Trial 
This AC local has seen its share problems in the past few months, but all these issues have been rectified:

>> The AC, automatic doors and train operations were not synchronised 
>> During static trials, it was seen that emergency brakes weren’t working and doors weren’t opening 
>> Initially, the high-power AC units — all 360 tonnes — were vibrating heavily and overcooling the coaches to a frigid 16 degrees instead of the preferred 22-24° Celsius

Safety measures
>> If the AC switches off in case of technical failure, the trains blowers will switch on and run for up to six hours
>> A second console has been added so both the Guard and the Motorman can operate the doors 
>> The train is also fitted with a red button that will function as the passenger feedback system, so commuters can speak to the motorman or the guard
