Guarding Guide

Guards are appointed by drivers to ensure that all passengers board safely and the doors are operated safely. Drivers can appoint a guard in the UI. (Feature not yet fully implemented, driver-guard agreement for the guard to guard the train)

To start guarding a train, ask for driver permission first. If you have received permission, head to the back of the train and click the panel in the cab until a UI pops up. You are now a guard.

Below are the Guarding Instructions.

Guard buzzes driver ‘1’ to indicate train stop. The driver buzzes ‘1’ back. The guard checks if everything is safe, and opens the doors if so. Guard waits for Green signal, or for all passengers to load, and closes doors once there are no obstructions. Once the interlock light goes out, the Guard buzzes the driver ‘2’, whistles, and shows the green flag Train can proceed.	Guard buzzes driver ‘1’ to indicate train stop. The driver buzzes ‘1’ back.
