When driving on the classic (3rd rail) lines, the KVB display seems to be active. Also, the door shut indicator on the electronic display seems to display blue before the doors are fully closed.
When going from Faversham to St.P I usually only activate DSD and AWS using the key on the back wall, and I switch on TVM and KVB at Ebbsfleet Intl. It's no fix but it works
