[Met Driver]

[gives up on asking the questions] Correct :roll: [/]

 

[Tom]

Hmm:

OK, here's a brilliant one, at what area of Ealing Common depot (you must name the word that T/Ops refer to it as) is the Museum headshunt?

 

[Met Driver]

On the 'alps'.

 

[Tom]

Dum de dum...











yep.

Describe the hand signal you should make to the driver of a LU train if you want him/her to stop the train immediately.

 

[DistrictDriver]

Describe the hand signal you should make to the driver of a LU train if you want him/her to stop the train immediately.

Whilst not wishing to give any answers ( ), there are actually several danger signals which would cause a driver to stop the train, so should be reasonably guessable!

 

[Tom]

You hold a red light up and that overrides the signal? :P

I was taught on Monday that there is a specific one for getting the driver to stop immediately.

 

[bunnahabhain]

Yes, both hands in the air above the head.

Like that.

 

[Tom]

Or like going STOP! Or handing a stop sign...

 

[bunnahabhain]

That is the official way to stop a train and is taught by everybody who will be lineside that that is how you stop a train in an emergency.

It is set down by the HSE that you need a Hand Signal for stop at the bare minimum to operate a railway if there is a situation that arises where a train needs to be stopped.

I can guarantee, if you wear a Hi-Vis vest, and you go to the end of a Platform with a train approaching that is due to go non-stop through, and you do that Hand Signal, it will stop as fast as it can.

Oh and if you do that you'll be arrested

 

[Met Driver]

Yes, both hands in the air above the head.

Like that.

Although that is one way of doing it, that isn't the one I'm looking for.

 

[Nick]

Blowing a whistle nice and long

 

[Simming]

What about snogging the drivers wife/girlfriend lineside, im suer that we stop the train in no time :roll:

 

[Julian G]

red flag? :roll:

 

[Met Driver]

red flag? :roll:

I am looking for a HAND signal

 

[Dave A]

Is it one hand up, swing hand in a round motion slowly, above head, below belt or up and down.

 

[Met Driver]

YYYYyyyyyyyeeeehmmmmmm...NO

 

[Dave A]

YYYYyyyyyyyeeeehmmmmmm...NO

OK, their the only ones I ... found on Google

 

[Met Driver]

tubechallenger has just given me the correct answer on MSN, which is:

You wave your arms across your body.

His question is this:

"At King's Cross St Pancras on the Northern Line, what is the signal that controls entry to the Piccadilly Line?"

shunt signal?

 

[Tom]

Signal number.

 

[Julian G]

Signal number.

hmm :?

 

[tramboy]

Do you mean as in "J8"?

Dave

 

[Tom]

Correct.

 

[tramboy]

Yay! My thanks to "tubeprune" for that one.


Nice simple question now, the Nightstar stock, originally intended for use on European sleepers...

Firstly: where did they spend most of their time in store whilst in Britain?
Finally: Where are they now, with who and trading as what?

Cheers

Dave

 

[Tom]

As in J8, I thought you meant it was in that style, but no, it is not J8!

 

[Met Driver]

J8 controls entry onto the King's Cross loop, not the Piccadilly Line itself. The answer is L22

 

[Tom]

Indeed.
