Apologies if there is a thread on this but on the deep level stock, does the cab AC actually work? Just out of curiosity.

On the 1992ts it mostly works but occasionally you'll get AC that barely functions or where it blows out hot air instead of cold (its a combined AC/heater unit). Some of them work too well so you have to keep switching it on and off depending on whether the cab is too hot or too cold.
On one occasion I took a train from White City to Leytonstone in Coded Manual with the door open because the AC didn't work

Apologies if there is a thread on this but on the deep level stock, does the cab AC actually work? Just out of curiosity. On 95 & 96 stock it’s reasonably reliable, typical performance varies from “gives a bit of cool air” to a proper fridge environment. It isn’t uncommon to find cabs blowing out hot air however, so on hot days there will tend to be numerous trains being changed over due to defective cab air con. What does tend to get drivers backs up is when someone puts in the defect book that the air con is blowing out hot air, and the unit goes back into service the next day. To be fair it isn’t always possible for depots to attend to this straight away. |

Air con on the 09 stock on the Vic was fantastic, only ever had one problem with it and that was a bit of leaking fluid. Guess the units were still fairly new compared to what the Central and Northern had.
