Are Southern guards not able to or not allowed to either customise the output of the PIS or switch it off?

Perhaps in part due to a batch of trainee drivers cleared to go into the wild?

Inteetaingly on Twitter someone said the breaks jammed as a result of the track circuit failure or words to that effect.The evening peak didn't start well with door faults on trains at Balham then Victoria, closely followed by the issues at Haywards Heath (a couple of signals stuck at danger at Copyhold Jn - track circuit issues supposedly something to do with it). Then 1W45 got its brakes jammed on, and had to terminate at Haywards Heath. Once all that was dealt with, everything started moving much more freely, but congestion was back to Redhill and thus SN/TL are still having a "fun" evening...

I heard a rumour some of them are only qualified to drive in daylight! Which could be fun if they get delayed!

So should car bus and truck drivers do their tests at night
No agreed Lord only knows how folk managed to drive steam engines up until the 1960s with no speedometer fitted at allPossibly! Mind you doesn't take them so long to stop!

I have seen lots of staff recently waiting for trains are these new drivers or new onboard stuff?
Drivers are never passed out as competent until they've completed 40 hours night driving. If Southern really are allowing drivers to pass out without completing their night hours then strict rules are being broken regarding driver training. Is this the start of a slippery slope ?
Next you'll have agency dispatch staff having a go during staff shortages !
The orange rucksack used to be something only issued to drivers - now all staff get one.
Drivers will now really need to double check route learners have the correct ID before admitting them to the cab for route learning purposes.
Due to a fault with the signalling system between East Croydon and London Victoria some lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed or diverted.
Stations between Selhurst and Wandsworth Common will not be served.
Platform changes can be expected at Balham, Wandsworth Common, Selhurst and Clapham Junction.
To help you to complete your journey, you may use your Southern ticket on London Underground and London Bus services in the area and across London, and on train services provided by Gatwick Express, Thameslink, and London Overground.
For more information on this incident, including details of how you can claim compensation for your delay, please visit our live running information page.
Will I be able to use my ticket on other train operators services, the tube or London buses?
Thameslink, Southern and Gatwick Express will accept each others tickets on the strike days. Any tickets that are normally valid on other routes (such as oyster on the Tube) will of course continue to be valid as usual.
How is that going to save money? Staff work less hours and we pay them more. I'm sure it's not that simple though.RMT has agreed to trial the reduction in opening hours at Thameslink in return for a £1000 bonus for staff working the trials. No agreement at Southern.
I think GTR are playing the long game there. A quick one-off bonus could save thousands further down the line.How is that going to save money? Staff work less hours and we pay them more. I'm sure it's not that simple though.
