What are the orange lights on the side of trains for?

[ccr32]

Just wondering... Something to do with the doors I assume?

Indicators

After all, how else does the high speed one pass the slow ones?

Nah they're position indicators. Like Le Mans.

To stop sewerage lorries driving into the side of them.

They are for door interlocking, all orange cantrail lights off , doors locked shut, power can be taken. On some units they will be on if certain safety systems are isolated.

They're not trains you fool - they're DALEKS!!
