    Apparently their batch of detonators only has a 10 year life cycle, so the railway operations allow for them to be used before they go out of date. I was also told that only the footplate crews knew about the detonators and not the passengers, which I found strange.

    On the first run it appeared to me that the 2 bodies in orange were within the safety limit for use of detonators.
    I am sure that that was not the case though was it?
