I've noticed that the domestic platforms at Ebbsfleet International and Stratford International have signal "OFF" indicators.
This seems odd as there are no conventional signals, no platform staff and the driver self dispatches using the carriage fitted cameras. (The on board manager playing no part in dispatch). The onboard TVM430 system will tell the driver whether the signal is off or on.
Were they fitted before the final system of DOO operation was set in stone?
I also see that the International platforms at Stratford have them fitted as well.
Any ideas?
