Stafford station has about five public information signs on the first platform, but nothing on any of the others. No platform numbers, no wayfinding.. nothing.
On the 805 timetable on 323 farewell rail tour why is there no crewe to Birmingham Just Birmingham to Crewe .
Would these be Trent Valley services by any chance, so would be better in Trent Valley rather than Birmingham.
Did a service with a 350. Well, two services. First one i tried prompted me to lock doors even though were already locked. Then on another service after setting up aws etc, upon passing a magnet it didn't clear the aws sunflower from self test. Had to bring train to a stand and reset
1u29. At end of service when unloading passengers came up, it never told me to lock doors ever. I tried but didn't complete that run unfortunately.
I don't know if this is mentioned somewhere in the 22 pages of forum posts. But is there someone who could clarify the holding brake of the class 350 for me? Every time I try to make a smooth stop, it will apply like 1.8 bar of brake pressure to engage the holding brake. But I cannot imagine that this would be a real nice thing to experience in real life. It just slams the brakes on and throws it to a stop, and I can imagine people will fall over or at least have an uncomfortable experience if this thing would stop. Any people in real life who travelled in this train and can confirm this behaviour? It ruins (for me) the satisfying part of stopping the train because it doesn't really matter how you brake. The holding brake will make sure a rough stop is guarantied.
Yes, I agree, it's a real shame. Generally speaking, I don't find driving the Class 350 very pleasant. First, it feels like there are more than four traction notches (PC/keyboard). And as for the brakes, I much prefer the Electrostars. Had a run on ECW recently, they were so smooth in comparison. People could have stood inside without holding on... or sleeping like a baby...
Pretty sure it kicks in at too high a speed, making it a really jolting stop. The 710 does similar, but kicks in at a lower speed, so you hardly even notice it.
Does everyone else feel like that when you point out errors and mistakes you’re just screaming into the void?!
So on the new timetable why can only drive the blue 66 with containers and the other 66s do the rest like aggregates and rhtt.
It's worse than that. Quite often you get attacked by the usual suspects for being a 'complainer'. Has put me right off this place and the game in general to be honest.
On the new timetable how come there are no tfw jobs from Crewe to Birmingham. Just Wolverhampton to Birmingham. On the original one there was two.
