A spokesman for Arriva said it was unfortunate that the woman, who was detained in hospital on suspicion of destroying public property, had been described as a thief.

And they libelled her as well. The fact that she was actually able to start the train without trying shows that they need a better security system or drivers should be responsible for cleaning the cabs.

No keys = no engines = no power. Rather hard to clean in the dark. Here cleaners generally know enough to start a train.

It's generally not quite that easy, one must gain traction interlock to obtain brake release, which means all doors must be closed, DRA set to off, and any other signal/onboard systems started (on the Cambrian the driver must log into the ERTMS system otherwise he will be stopped after 7 meters).

On the class 37s, you've got to deisolate batteries, prime the engine, the fire it up before obtaining traction interlock.
