That was the theory at the time that high speed through overhead wire territory could cause a hypnotic effect hence why Class 373s were built with...
The correct term used on the railway is driver underload. Train driving is generally extremely boring especially when you consider that most train...
Surprises me as i thought clinchfield was one of the better US freight dlcs
This thread didn’t disappoint!
I had a go Euston - Wembley run and it is honestly the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen lol. That needs fixing so bad, no way they had access to...
Oh sorry didn’t realise you drove 390s
Brakes are too powerful in fact and needs toning down a bit.
I suspect it’s showing what it is timed for rather than what traction is actually operating the service. All (or nearly all of) the Liverpool...
No worries at all, happy to help. On both the fast lines, it’s 110 PS and 125 EPS. On both the slow lines, it’s 70 mph through Wolverton. As I’ve...
With regards to line speeds, it’s actually rather boring for a Class 390 in tilting mode. After the speed rises to 125mph just South of Wembley...
That’s how the Hitachis work not Class 390s. Class 390s have a system called TASS which, when active, will give an over speed alarm at 128mph and...
There are locations where there are short signal sections (which is part of the driver’s route learning) so if you are doing 125mph as you’re...
It does have a DSD but it doesn’t have a vigilance.
That sounds right, Wheel Slide Protection. Some traction I’m aware of have brakes on the leading axle but it’s automatically isolated when the cab...
Actually the Recovery mode is to use the recovery control panel on the secondman’s side. There are a few buttons which allow the train to be moved...
Enough is Enough!!! Stop arguing :)
Great to hear from you too and completely agree :):):)
I know the signals are a general issue rather than specific for this DLC but they are really poor. Even after passing the AWS magnet which is...
See 8:40-11:00 of this. At the beginning before you set off, you get a message from someone called Emily Turner saying there may be restrictions...
Don’t know if it’s already been discussed but I’m playing the “Hot Seat” scenario and what the hell was that TSR. From memory, got something like...
Thought I would add to this thread rather than create a new one. I’m enjoying LNER to a degree but the signals is still really ruining it for me....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Not the best images but here’s what the dorman type signals look like in the day and dark. The signals are so bad in game that...
That looks excellent, hands down that looks much more realistic than what’s in the game. Colours are sharper and brighter.
Feel free to add to mine if you wish. Grand Junction lines would work very well with the Stour lines (Birmingham to Wolverhampton via Dudley Port)...
I suspect they’re thinking of the LNWR services that used to run pre-COVID from Euston to Liverpool via Birmingham. Essentially, LNWR used to run...
No that’s not correct, Liverpool services have always gone via the Trent Valley 1 train per hour, xx07 leaving Euston calling at Stafford, Crewe,...
No, I mean it physically prevents SPADs from happening when it triggers the emergency brake application on the train. Nothing to do with driver...
Wouldn’t completely agree with this especially with many modern resignalling projects hence why I said it was a basic overview and don’t want to...
You’ve hit the nail on the head with regards to the benefits of AWS and that is exactly why it was brought in. TPWS is in the background and...
No not many actually. The pre-COVID VHF (very high frequency) timetable in place since the late 2000s was 9 trains per hour out of Euston. The...
For passenger comfort and also because you have something in reserve in case you need more brake. If you hit the end of the platform at 40mph in...
15-20 mph 100 yards away works great not 30 yards away. At 100 yards, you’ll only need to use mainly step 1 with a bit of step 2.
Great suggestion :)
I believe it’s setup for ATO but a lot/all drivers haven’t been trained on it so it’s doesn’t run ATO. I’ll ask a TL drivers I know to confirm but...
It’s still manually driven isn’t it? I don’t believe it’s gone ATO yet
Come on guys, we can get through this!
Route Key stations Coventry > Stechford > Birmingham International > Birmingham New Street > Sandwell & Dudley > Wolverhampton = 32 miles...
It doesn’t seem to work correctly. The idea is when interlock is lost (I.e. doors are released/open), it should be red. And then when interlock is...
Will be dependent on traction but units that I’m aware of, egress can also be overridden the same way as passcom. Edited to add, I’d be curious...
The Banner Repeater for signal WP139 needs to be amended as it only applies for trains coming from the Down Derby line not from the Up Vauxhall...
A few years ago before they updated it, the Class 166 used to accelerate super quick like they were electrical multiple units as you describe. It...
Like FD1003, I’m no expert on US freight (although find it intriguing!!) but having had a looking through the Norfolk Southern locomotive...
In the real world, there are so many different types of driving techniques so it’s impossible to say this is what a real driver would do. For...
It depends on the reason why you’re passing the signal at danger. If it’s because it is a signal failure, proceed at caution is the key word....
With regards to junctions, there are a few different ways to alert the driver that they will be going across at the junction: 1. Approach...
No, you’re not gonna get much interest on here. It’s only 113 miles. Anything under 200 miles is a no.
Unfortunately in the game, I don’t think it is possible to go through the “middle tracks.” Even if you go on scenario mode and make a service from...
Now you two are just being plain unreasonable :(
Welcome back :)
London Kings Cross to Edinburgh? No way! As a minimum it should be Kings Cross to Aberdeen but as a community we should be pushing for Kings Cross...
