    The idea of having working SPADS would be good instead of a basic message sending you to the menu. If the train had an automatic brake application it would be brilliant. This would help make the route more realistic for me. What do you think?

    That would be nice, but with the current dispatcher, it wouldn’t work.

    I’d love to accidentally SPAD on the BKL and have the trains brakes get tripped instead of an instant failure.

    This is a feature that should be in the game and would make it more of a sim instead of a arcade style game. In real life if you run a red light in most routes the emergency brakes would apply. I would assume the dispatcher would need an upgrade though for that

    On East Coastway, the TPWS actually activates when you pass a signal at danger so the emergency brakes apply. But it's only possible to see on one of the services when you need to get permission to pass a red signal at Brighton as any other time, as you say, the game ends.
