    Anybody know how to perform a PCS recovery on a Class 66?

    Only solution for me was to turn the engine off and on again...

    If you drive with AWS enabled (Automatic Warning System) and fail to recognize an alert the train will automatically be brought to a halt and you have to perform a "Pneumatic Control Switch" recovery to get it running again. There are guides online for TWS HH but I can't find one for TSW GWE...

    Only American stuff has a PCS. UK stuff has TPWS to do the same job. If TPWS imposes an E brake, look at the TPWS panel and wait for the brake demand light to turn off. Main ingredient there being waiting. Once that light is turned off, you release the brake and move off.
