be resolved quickly.

working properly, and monitors the air quality and lighting to maintain a safe environment for
passengers and crew.

crews to inspect and repair the track.

engineer, and ensures that all signals, lights, and systems are functioning correctly to aid in visibility and
safe operation.



What actions should a Conductor take if there’s an issue with the train’s communication system during
the journey?
