Which would be fraudulent...

It was a similar example of union action being the instigator on a safety matter, rather than the regulators?

I'm sure we don't need to go over the old chestnut of DOO again that the ORR declared safe, yet is always framed as a safety matter..

It's surely not that hard - you just look at the train timetable and see said train is meant to run at said time - then it's all up to the driver!

This is why we need the flexibility they're striking against - different staff being able to work different routes...

The current timetable is an absolute mess - limited hours and no services on some branches at all! I know there's the industrial action, but other South East operators seem to be managing to run a fairly normal service on non-strike days?

Gassing the passengers might certainly make it easier for the staff on all trains lol!

Then you simply proceed at caution until BTP permanently removes the reprobate..

Train cancelled? Plenty of other software manages to be failsafe though - just look at fighter jets with HUDs!

Yes, but surely one well-engineered system done once is better than lots of different fallible drivers doing the same thing again and again?

Integrated would mean bilateral communication would it not? It wouldn't affect the signalling. Edit: alternatively perhaps the HUD could be manually prodded to let it know you're going on a different route/line outside diagram and need advice?

I'm not sure the list is endless, that's rather pessimistic from an engineering perspective.. If everyone had said "it's too hard" we wouldn't have railways in this country in the first place! Differentials per class can easily be stored in the relevant database, for instance, along with the...

No need for trackside whistle post and speed limit reminders then - could even be updated with TSRs/ESRs - I'd call it a "driver advisory system"? Might be able to reduce the need for drivers to know the line like the back of their hand with less instructor requirements and training time too, if...

Have also always wondered, would it be so outrageous in the 21st Century to have a sort of transparent "Heads-up Display" guide to the route, giving all those facts as needed? Not like ERTMS/ETCS integrated to the signalling/control systems - just advisory. They manage it in cars, would be easy...

The Victoria line's depot at Northumberland Park is above ground - the snow was pretty heavy in that area, so presumably the problem.

Do they or can they actually do anything? They're neither trained as security officers or healthcare professionals, I see lots on the South Western Railway network who just seem to hang around all day doing nothing (while presumably pushing up the cost of fares)?

Never seen many berries at Berrylands!

One might note that a direct coach from Machynlleth to Barmouth would actually always be quicker than the current running time of the train!

They recently issued a tender to upgrade them - I've definitely noticed much worse coverage on the odd train when they've failed. https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2022/W17/773718160

I believe the radio frequency repeaters on Avanti Voyagers and Pendolinos are only configured for 900/1800/2100MHz (the old 2G and 3G bands), but that allows 4G reception on those bands now, for the networks that use them?
