Cheers everybody :love:
Woohoo! I've finally passed out and driving solo for real! Took ages because training was suspended due to Covid. While I was off at home, very...
[ATTACH] Very true. I had the same with the TGV Duplex. The speedo showed 0 over 400 km/h, but the HUD kept going.
I'm sure we've all done it and tried in TS to go as fast as possible to see what a train will actually top out at. I disabled TVM430 and got 515...
Sometimes I'll pre-empt the Vigilance on a real 350, lift the pedal up and back down quickly, so the alarm doesn't go off at critical moments, and...
I think I had that issue before and tried to clear it by applying full service brake, switch into reverse. Then neutral, and back into forward. If...
Class 350/1 on WCML South. Location at Ledburn Junction, formerly Sears Crossing, where the Great Train Robbery occurred. [ATTACH]
Yup, Platform 9 & 10 are both just under 200m long. 8 car only.
If the 3rd rail is accidentally re-energised, a short circuit to the -ve return path of the DC system causes the circuit-breakers at the...
Yeah, I'm told powering through could make a jolt, but the main reason we're told to power off is to stop any arcing from wire to pantograph. This...
So when sim driving through neutral sections, I power off with pantograph raised like I was trained to on the WCML. But are there different...
Yeah, when routed out of Euston on X, it dives under and then as it rises it rejoins with Line E. But in TS the signal routes you onto Line D and...
Are you being assigned a different instructor then? I should be keeping mine upon return. Since I've only learned with Desiros, I found the 455 on...
Since you haven't been assigned an instructor, have you been out handling with a random DI yet? And no shoes up here! I think our /1s have shoe...
Yep I got the same results with the quick drive.
I wonder iif you can reset the DSD before it goes off? Might give that a go sometime, press the E key or move the power-brake controller. In the...
No idea on our return date. Had thought we'd be back by now. Our group has been getting worried about job security because of the rail franchising...
I hear ya. I'm not using it to replace handling training. No way. It's just a way to make practising rules and procedures a bit easier to...
Thanks DTG Jamie. I'm training on Class 350s. Well, when it resumes again.
Yeah Bletchley does look recognisable. I used the cam to freely move around. The booking-on point,, depot, carriage sidings are all there. Even...
We can't stick with our instructors or training school as all trainees have been at home since March. We're still not back yet. We have DVDs of...
[ATTACH] TGVs departing, arriving, and stabled at Gare Marseille St Charles on the TGV Marseille-Avignon route.
Hi, New to the forum and only started playing TS when I got furloughed from my job as a trainee train driver in the UK. Using TS to practice the...
