There is a lot of controversy regarding the D Sets, particularly surrounding the fact that train guards will be required to remain within their cab and monitor CCTV when stopping at the platform. This lowers their view of the platform and whether the passengers getting on and off the train are safe, especially given the large gaps between the train and the platform.
Despite this, I am extremely excited for the release of the D Sets, mainly because I will be able to catch them 3-4 times a week to get to university.
