These videos are helpful for playing train simulator on UK routes as well as real life. I hate riding yellow signals and I tend to go slower to increase my distance to the AI train in front. All it takes is one slip of concentration and game over.
Two of the four scenarios in this film reinforce why I really wish the UK would adopt ASFA¹ as quickly as it could. Scenario 1 would've been checked by the driver incorrectly responding _Anuncio Parada_ rather than stopping the train, and scenario 2 would've been pre-emptively stopped by the high likelihood of the driver responding incorrectly to whatever aspect was supposed to be being displayed. In scenario 1 the train might've started braking as soon as it passed the advance balaise, assuming the approach speed was too high for a signal at _Parada._ 🚥🚄👍 (¹ - _Anuncio de Señales y Frenado Automatíco_ - The Spanish equivalent of AWS, which employes an active driver awareness system in preference to the more simplistic (And unfortunately dangerous) AWS plunger. 👍)
I like how in the UK, if you're driving a large vehicle, especially one with extensions that could get stuck on the crossing, you need to call the signaler for permission to cross. I wish we had that for America, but of course, we tend to have a lot more traffic on our roads. If you're driving a regular lorry over a level crossing at normal speed, it doesn't look like you need to call. Is that right?
This is so much better than these day's ones I see at school. The recent ones unnecessarily have dramatic and upsetting music and themes. This though is a formal explanation.
Runs through the points at 1:15:50 when the audio says that the route should be set for you to proceed, and there is even a Shunter stood right there next to the points handle!! 🤯🧐
I was in Warragul in Victoria in Australia and it was a V-Line train and they driver overshot the platform and went through a red signal it happens everywhere where there's a railway and doesn't just happen in the UK I was also on a Metro trains train between Ringwood East and Croydon in Victoria the train driver went through a red signal and the train came to an emergency stop it doesn't just happen in the UK at happens everywhere
I think the system would likely detect that there is a fault with the signal (there is actually a system that monitors signals for blown bulbs, and if a red/danger bulb blows, signals for potentially conflicting movements are reverted to danger automatically)
Arggghh. They used the most primitive form of audio mixing here; they've *misused* stereo channels, with the field sound in left channel and the narration in the right. Then mix to mono. The problem is, we're listening in stereo. New levels of BR video crapness.
