No.
It was never planned for them to be banned outright. However it is still the plan that they must be fitted with Central Door Locking, Retention tanks and I'm fairly sure lockable windows.
Ah it may be that bars or locks are fitted - either way something to prevent window hanging.
The LSL vehicles have a simple, and fairly tasteful single diagonal bar across the window inside which prevents the 'cage' appearance of previous window bars.
I find the vertical window bars quite off-putting. Makes it feel more claustrophobic too and 'trapped' somehow. Just a quirk of mine. Lol.
And which didn’t prevent heads appearing out of windows on the ScotRail livery set last weekend.
As proved at the recent SVR Gala one can still gets ones out with those single bars.

They're one solution that is possible yes.
I think they’re quite an elegant solution. Of course I’d rather they weren’t there but they’re a lot less intrusive than the bars.
Sadly, there's been too many instances of people sticking their heads out of droplights and then getting struck, so Operators will need some method of preventing the windows being opened in flight for the foreseeable future. Locks linked into the CDL are quite neat, but charter operators might be able to justify manual locks worked by a carriage key on the basis of the stewarding levels - as long as enthusiasts who've been to ebay before boarding don't take matters into their own hands....
This would not allow emergency egress though especially if the steward is temporarily absent. If locked windows ever become a requirement then IMO something like the Night Riviera solution would be preferred.
A window punch could be fitted for emergency egress or an internal latch control.
I hope it never becomes a requirement that windows must be licked!
No idea.
Oops,well at least I know my posts get readI hope it never becomes a requirement that windows must be licked!
.Indeed,that is one solution however these have fallen out of fashion with shatterproof or laminated glass. Having said that I don’t think such glass is fitted to Mk1 doors.

I really did not want to think about that image....
Personally I can see the internal door handle being the simplest way to do it, especially if linked-in window CDL isn't practical in a Mk1. Although I think there was a system that used a bolt extending from the carriage body through the frame to block downward movement of the window so you could open the window a crack but not wide enough to get any body parts out of it.
Yes, DMU/EMU style,nice and simple.
There.
Regardless on your opinion of the individuals involved, the ORR takes the view that their deaths are preventable and therefore reasonable effort should be made to prevent them.There.

I am afraid the enthusiast on the class 442 really should have known better, simply because he knew there was one openable window per side on the unit for the guard to use. However, should the distance of the gantry to the train really been that tight ?
