London Underground Train Driver said ''I only have RM''...?

Question

This morning, my train driver on the Central Line was having difficulties with the train, and said to the Line Controller ''I only have RM.'' The Train was then taken out of service. Anyone know what RM means?

Answer 1

Don't know, but it had to be a technical problem, brakes? maybe.

Answer 2

Asked a friend...who im not sure actually knows for sure, but they said rolling motion (no power). Sounds plausible.

Answer 3

ITS ANOTHER WORD FOR THE RUNS HE NEEDED A SHITE

PMSL

Answer 4

Maybe he said "I only have REM" and had to go home for the Cliff Richard cd he wanted to listen to?

Answer 5

Ricky Martin?

It's probably short for reverse mode and so was driving the train from the wrong end.

Answer 6

it means "restricted manual" (refering to the gears) which means the train has very little forward motion and will only go slow! and if it was kept in service all the trains behind would have to go slow as well!

  we talk in codes as not to let the public know what we are up to!

  hope that helps you out!

Answer 7

Yes this means Ridiculous Mugs on board
