Yeah, that appears to be the case. It says it's isolated, over.
5711884

Yeah, roger that driver, so I was wondering if I could get you to reinstate those isolations, they are in the cabinet on the Adelaide end of the T car on the left hand side, you need to get in with your driver's key, and then the silver door behind with the square key, and there should be three metallic switches, they should be in the upright position.
5711704
12:42:06 7.7s
Roger that. Am I actually okay to do that? Like, is there a reason that it's isolated? I don't want something to be going wrong.
5711884
12:42:15 10.0s
No, driver, the reason the HVAC was isolated was because it was on the clean platform, so it's all good to be reinstated.
