Its only kinky the first time.

We may be technically close to driver less cars, the lawyers are only just starting to talk about who could be fault from an accident, the computer or the driver that was given only a few seconds (maybe) to wake up, gather themselves and then grab the steering wheel.... I personally always...

I'll take a punt; Axle Counters Track Circuits

Or someone or something has affected the Signalling System mores the point........ Unless the signalling design has been changed for the possession, which is doubtful IMHO, then an action has been carried out to defeat the protection designed within the signalling system to stop this very...

Possibly already discussed, and apologies if so. Looking at the comments by Simon French, from the report summary ; Is there any recourse to look at the diagrams to prevent trains passing each other in single bore tunnels... Clearly this all works great until there is running out of...

Pah! You were lucky, I'll tell you..........

I doubt the train modem has multiple SIMS, normally the agreement would be with a single mobile phone carrier only. Also, beware of the Speedtest apps as the speed also depends on the capacity / congestion on the 4G/3G carrier network and the server tested to. For example, I was involved...

Very funny - It will be lost in translation with my office colleagues here in Aus.....

Will there be an investigation for this then, in terms of a signalling design issue or other process failure? This cant be normal practice. Surely the signalling design needs changing to avoid Signallers sending out Stop messages based on false information.

NRN was indeed designed for national, railway based coverage, alongside a overlapping emergency radio network. It was in Band 3 around 200Mhz The NRN was a trunked radio system with each basestation allowing a single conversation at any time, the overlapping emergency system 'listened' for...

A short stroll to St Jamess Park

Woodford - I cannot be fairer than that.

If the lamp on a signal post is under water, then we have bigger things to worry about.......

Using shipping containers in this manner is actually quite common. Christchurch NZ has plenty of them stacked up protecting houses from crumbling cliff edges; http://www.jethrocarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_20120709_141816.jpg

Its interesting reading about the braking characteristics and techniques employed nowadays. Way back when when I was starting out in S&T and learning about signal positioning and temporary speed restrictions, we were taught that there would be, typically, two distinct brake applications. Our...

Thanks swt_passenger and cjmillsnun, good info. cheers

Hi, New user so please be nice. I was reading in Rail a few months back that the Network Rail New Measurement Train (ex HST stock) is not allowed to run on the GE south of Colchester. Looking at the route availability (what I can find on the web anyway) I can't work out why. So, does...
