In Vorarlberg route you seem to have those funny Star Wars type digits. I did a quick search on here but couldn't find anything on signals. Rosenheim has them as well in Salzburg. I did a quick look for manuals for TSW4 but none. I can use PZB ok but I just don't know about those Star Wars ones.... Is there any reference material or something I missed? Can anyone help please?
do you mean this? that's basically a digital semaphore signal ( this thing but on a screen) and shows the same state as the "actual" signal below it, just in, well, a different shape.
http://www.schienenbahnen.at/Dienstvorschriften/V2.pdf here you have a pretty damn good guide to both old and new Austrian signals might have to do some Google-translating, but it is really good, also has those funky white-line signals found at some junctions
a bit of advantage for me is that when travelling to Vienna or surrounding towns, I try to sit as far front as possible so I can glimpse at least some signals before they turn red cos of our passing, and trying to interpret them thanks to them I can also determine when the next stop is, or when waiting for a train, where approximately it will stop so I can get in among the first and have a seat lol
Go to Japan and you can see what the driver sees! Except the Bullet train Shinkansen. All commuter trains pretty much have a window! The frequent stopping of a Tokyo commuter route would be as good as or (better) better than Cathcart circle. If you need me to post a video I can, there are probably tens of thousands.....
In real life, would it not make more sense to use buses instead of a train, I mean a bus is better for short trip, an for stopping often (like cartcart, and most of the commuter)
IF so, the Japanese would have done it by now, don't you think? Go do your own research then present some real facts. Your question is off topic (signaling) so don't think I am being rude.
