Welcome to Dad Rail. I am a Freight Train Driver, former Passenger Train Driver, and father to 4 wonderful sons, all of which don't like trains!

Thanks for looking at my channel and happy you tubing!
i just bought the class 390 separately and it isn’t appearing for me when I go on the west coast main line, anyone know the fix for this or why it’s not showing ?
Will this work on ps4, ive just downloaded the london euston and milton keynes pack and this train and the underground one is not there but i have got the bakerloo line installed and goblin line and its not showing up anywhere ?
We were there on Monday, didn’t see any trains. It was an accidental find! We saw there was a model shop close to us (Monas Models) and decided to check it out. Didn’t realise it was directly opposite Llanfair PG.
@@DadRail ah, I drove there Tuesday on my way to / from Holyhead. I knew your video must have been recent as I saw they’d given the station building a lick of paint as I stopped. Maybe next time!
OMG this is amazing. A real train driver tests a train simulator. I like the way u talk and how u talk. Amazing video and definitely gonna subscribe!!🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤
The actual pronunciation sounds a bit like clan-vire-pwth-gingeth-go-gereth-quin-droboth-clanty-silly-o-go-go-goch, but pronounce the "th" with a bit of a lisp, like "sid the sloth"...
£80,000 ÷ 12 = £6666.66 per month. Thats the payslip they put in their backpack on payday. Pensioners Winter Fuel allowance. £0.00 I hope train drivers carry their guilt around in their backpack.
At the beginning of being in the cab you pressed load of buttons, in the game is it possible to have a guide on in the game to know what to press? I am brand new to this game..ie can this be done on easy mode? Can you play with an XBox controller?
I don't understand how train drivers are able to negotiate such high wages; it takes just 1 year of training to become a train driver, and each job placement typically has around a thousand applicants. To become a maths teacher it takes 4 years training (3 years degree + 1 year teacher training), there are far fewer applicants for each job, the hours are longer, and the pay is about 20% less than a train driver. To become a doctor you typically need between 8-10 years training, the work is much more stressful, the hours are longer, but you get paid around 50% more than a train driver.
The first thing you need to do to be a train driver is be a Labour voter and be the only people to think the sun shines out of Starmer to be on 80 grand a year. The second is to have a conscience and think about those poor pensioners who are going to freeze to death without their winter fuel allowance so you could earn 80 grand a year.
For those coming up on this line to London Euston etc, at Harlesdone Platform 2 - shown here at 21.02 in the video on right the video unit for sdo assistance on the platform if you under brake at stop at that point where the camera is it, will stick in the cab and no form of reset physics or save and come back out will allow you to continue. If you stop before it and then drive past no issue, so definately bug and assume the object ends up interering with the vehicle object when it tries to continue and conflicts in the game and physics engine, @DadRail one to report back as ambassador to make them aware that object needs moving back slightly to avoid the issue occuring when under breaking and stopping late at Harlesdon occurs. Definately happening on the Xbox Series X build.
I have it but some of my most favorite routes and loco dlcs I've purchased show up as I never purchased it in the past. On Xbox series X, wondering if anyone else is having this problem?
Can anyone shed some light on the new game please? Had early access, which I think was a complete disaster as all the game did was crash. The 17th comes along and none of the dlc would move over. Move onto the 18th and all my dlc has finally moved over, but here’s the issue. There’s no sign of any Bakerloo trains or Overground trains on the WCML and neither is there any sign of a 377. I have watched many vids and read that these will layer in, but no, absolutely nothing appears. What’s going on?
You will need both the Suffragette and the WCML routes. What platform are you on? Some older generation consoles will not get all the layers on WCML as they can’t handle it.
What is it about the audio? I’m not massively familiar with the 710s. I remember when the 710 was released with the suffragette add on, it was really well received
They can’t get a license to use the LNWR branding. The alternative is to not make the train at all. Good news is that somebody in the creators club has already made a branded version.
Excellent advice! I especially like your advice to school leavers to not leave as soon as you (think) you have met the minimum requirements, but to continue to get more knowledge and skills under your hat (or between the ears) because it will serve you well later... and it applies to all school leavers. I was expecting to hear a comment about what starting salary one might expect as a train driver . Is there a probationary period? Geez, I could ask a hundred questions.
Ask away. Starting salary is company dependent. Average around 20k, but it increases as you pass different stages of your training. Probation is normally 1 year after being passed competent. During your training if you fail to meet the standards you can be let go or offered alternative employment where appropriate.
