And some hands-on driving experience if you’re on good terms with the driver :cool:
Correct :) [ATTACH]
It would be nice if there was a training video on this in the training modules in game. In the mean time, does anyone know of a good guide or...
Hi, Sorry if I’ve missed it but where and when can I purchase this season pass? Thanks

So your brake cylinder pressure is 60psi and it won’t go any higher? It’s a bit of an odd question because it’s normally the other way around-...
I agree the lighting is poor in the game compared to real life, etc…. but your argument doesn’t really stand. How about in thick fog? Trains still...
The Bedwyn services were turbos not HSTs. It’s possible a couple of services may have been HSTs (I can’t remember) but nearly all, if not all,...
In a single unit, there is one bus line that runs through the entire unit. Both pantographs feed to this bus line. You can’t have more than one...
Why are you sorry? I don’t understand how this relates to the original post?
I don’t understand what the argument is over. Eric does make a pertinent point, it doesn’t work as it should in real life. Hopefully when Rush...
It’s a bug or rather, they haven’t implemented the coupling feature properly. You’re unable to obtain brake release on the other unit no matter...
:) [ATTACH] Just to summarise if the above is confusing, as Ben_Broomfield has said, the signalling isn’t correct. GC5099 should be two...
That’s not correct. As Paul said, there’s a button on the backwall labelled Unit hatch close. [ATTACH] Why couldn’t you go anywhere? You...
Aha, I’ve figured it out. Yes you’re correct and what I said above is also correct. As there is a transition from 3 to 4 aspect signalling, there...
That’s an interesting one. As suspected, there is a mixture and a transition of type of signalling. GC5099: 4 aspect stop signal (with the...
What specific signals are you referring to? There’s quite a mix of 4 aspect, 3 aspect and 2 aspect signalling and with that, a lot of transitions...
But there are people who find it helpful :D [ATTACH]
It’s a splitting distant signal. It’s similar to the splitting distant on GWE just beyond West Drayton which I explained in another thread and...
Approaching Glasgow, it is platform number. Leaving Glasgow, it is line number so you know where you are being routed to. Ideally, you need to put...
Just in case you’re curious as to when you could get an AWS warning at a green signal in real life: There is a fault. The AWS is a fail safe...
No, that’s not correct. You should not have received an AWS warning at the green signal. The only thing the distant signal is concerned about is...
If the stop signal associated with the distant is yellow, then the distant would be a green. There’s nothing wrong with that unless the distant...
I did a poll a few months back. Class 70 and Class 68/88 got the most with 18 votes each. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Does it look like any of these signs? [ATTACH]
Because it is just that (and a very good, I will add!) You’re probably so used to seeing people post this kind of stuff in the PC section when it...
Yes with only half the trailer weight, I would expect it to. I just tried it right now on TSW using scenario planner: (Leaving Slough heading...
How many coaches? 2+8 formation? More than 10 miles, more like 11-12 miles. Obviously the less (trailer) coaches, the faster the acceleration. To...

Hey, you weren’t supposed to tell anyone! :)

He’s had 2 years and 6 months to think about it. Someone’s dug this thread from October 2018 :)

It’s a splitting distant signal just East of West Drayton. It gives an advance indication for SN310 junction signal which protects Stockley Bridge...
Unfortunately, they’ve made up their mind so posting more threads about it isn’t going to change anything unless you’re hoping to gain support...
I’m sure there are some people disappointed on this forum to hear that the Class 442 project on SWR has been abandoned. So it would be great to...
Thanks for the follow :)
You’ve posted the same thread at least 5 times. I’ve already given you data on the GWE Route for the Class 166 a couple of months ago which I’ll...
What is DRA Generally speaking, brakes have nothing to do with DRA. DRA prevents power from being obtained but brakes will still release. However,...
No surprises considering the modern GWE timetable on TSW has very few services compared to real life as well. There should be approximately 12.5...

Great suggestion. The only traction you’re missing on the list is Class 158/159 sprinters which run the London Waterloo to Salisbury services....
The problem with a ‘cold start’ is to do it properly, you need so much more functionality most notably the TMS on modern units. For example,...
