"This class of locomotive (66) are fitted with a Driver Safety Device (DSD) part of which is a vigilance system, that if it is not constantly monitored and acknowledged by the driver whilst a train is in motion the system will automatically apply the train brakes"

However, if it is anything like the DSD on a class 455, you just need to keep your foot on it and it's happy...
