What's the deal with the alarm sound when the doors get released on the 800s? It's so loud and piercing and definitely sounds like something has gone wrong, and not an indication that you can now carry on your merry way following just the push of a button.
I guess it's an accessibility thing? Could they not have done the three beeps that most trains do? The Voyagers and 175/180s for example are much less alarming but still make the beeps. Has anyone got any insight I'm maybe missing?
I presume this was something that was decided on. Do all 800s do it or is it just GWR?
