Raining in Brighton even under cover of the station roof!!

For signals, a double yellow is never followed by a red aspect. Only single yellows are where you will find the next signal at red. It goes Green-Double Yellow-Yellow-Red or in some cases just Green-Yellow-Red and in some cases it's just Yellow-Red.

You can go through the station at full speed when it says, "Go via...."

There was once apon a time when Cross Country did do a Service between Brighton and Birmingham via Kensington Olympia

It felt like you forgot about signalling? Green --> Double Yellow --> Yellow --> Red.

Squirrel, I really agree with you how it's cool to see the scenery you recognise in real life. The Scottish line, Dundee To Edinburgh, I live in a small village on the other side of the Tay Bridge and it was cool to see the old bridge stumps which are actually there in real life

nice, waiting for part 2

Hi mr. Squirrel thank u for covering the london to brighton scenario pack i love that route i cant believe iam watching this 4 years later it still amazes me thank u once again

100% brake = emergency brake. Around 80% is the standard full brake on any train within train simulator.

Great vid!!! Its 4car for voyager and 5 car for super voyager

I travel on these trains very regularly and when my train hit somebody at Tile Hill station a month ago i was incredibly surprised at how quickly the train stopped actually!

Being local to this line i can say its really well detailed. Very accurate. My local station is actually Three Bridges.

more train simulator 2014 and more like this one plaese

Don,t like people tell you what to do you are great thanks for showing me this game

Been on cross Country services many times from Manchester Piccadilly to Wolverhampton quite a nice service to take

That paint scheme is on every Cross Country train down in Penzance, Cornwall :D

Try the West coast mainline north add on. It's 103 miles and very very detailed. It's also the natural home of the Pendelino.

Dear spiral I love your train sim and truck sim

Cross country voyagers inside are like plane I was on one last week

Go Via means your taking that route not stopping there

When the AWS goes off, you only need to press the button when the AWS makes a low tone horrible beep/honk. Great Vid :)

This route no longer exists in reality - but when it did the train would come off the mainline at Clapham junction, and then go via Kensington olympia up to willesden, where it joins the WCML.

great vid cant wait for part two should be class

Brilliant, part 2 next!

Great video, easiest way to save you from having to brake as soon as the double yellow signal shows up, if you click the Alt button on your keyboard it will come up with 'to pass signal granted' which I have interpreted as the signal will change to green or stay yellow. If you click it and it says 'to pass signal denied' this means the signal will be red and you have to stop at it.. A little side note it normally goes: Double Yellow Single Yellow Red Keep up the brilliant work with your videos :) :) :)

great video again paul

19:44 I GO ON THOSE TRAINS!

I love this train!

Thanks for the awesome vids

Awesome video

It was an american inventor William Robinson who created the block signalling which later would develop into modern systems we use now a days, also the block signalling is still in place on some routes

Hi there thanks for a pleasant trip to your first stop nicely driven. About your point on signalling history the British did invent it as a way to control trains and startsed with a man with a red flag. This then developed into a bar on a pole which could rotate on the pole to either show red for stop or be parrallel with the track for go. Finally this was replaced with the traditional upper and lower quadrant semaphore signals till the lights finally replaced them, but some semaphore signals can still be seen on British railways today. Hope this helps Ed

Another brilliant video. Was just trying to watch you on twitch but I'm guessing it's having a twitchy moment. I'll settle for a couple of these vids. Keep it up buddy.

Best practice is to accelerate until the spped limit, then cut the throttle and let it coast, when it starts getting too low (like 20-30 under the limit), re-apply acceleration.

Well done, your getting better :)

Is crazy to see the likes if Coventry and Birmingham in games likes this.... I'm from Coventry and when i go to Birmingham i Get off at New Street.. Love it! Been watching since 2013 and still loving your videos paul

just seen this video. great content. also i live in burgess hill. keep up great work!

Squirrel. There is cruise control on the electric trains. So that means you can set a certain speed and not have to kept moving the throttle.

Watching this again after 8yrs he should have at least 1 mil

Yes, it's raining, in Brighton, when the entire station is covered here...

Great Route :)

Nice video love it

Amazing videos! You should use the signal to guard/conductor :)

'I'll start again...this is where the wailways were invented'.

19:45. Lol, i think it was actually a brit that invented the signaling system.

I regularly see the cross country livery on trains here in Cornwall and now they have 5 car trains

From what I understand about rail light signals is double=stop 1 red= possible stop after the next signal. Double yellow is warning for red. however signal yellow has two meaning. Going too slow and holding the line or possible trouble. green= maintain speed. double green= route all clear

I SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT SIGNALS. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWING AS I KNOW THEY ARE NOT THAT EASY TO UNDERSTAND: Green: Clear to proceed Double Yellow: Red signal at 2 signals ahead Yellow: Red signal ahead. Reduce speed now Red: Stop. Line ahead not clear.

Paul. I live right by Birmingham it's a great station

that paint scheme is on the east coast mainline

Signals: 3 light: Green -> Single yellow -> Red 4 light: Green -> Double Yellow -> Single Yellow -> Red This route mainly uses 4 light signalling

Birmingham New Street isn't next to the NEC. You're thinking of Birmingham International

This + LoZST-Realm Overworld Soundtrack = Win

The voyager brakes are actually better than most. It uses a Rheostatic brake. It's able to in goof conditions stop from 60 in full service in 300m ...

I think that cross country has the best English livery out of all the different companies

Ace carnt wair for part 2 :-) excited ti buy the game

Just so you know the signals on fast lines go from Green, Double Yellow means the next one is Single Yellow then red, that gives you more time to break lol

hey paul, the CC just stands for the Cross Country livery, great vid as usual (:

@Squirrel the paint job on the train is used up in midlands i got on it from derby ta Birmingham new street

i love all your vids

Nice video! :3

Brighton to Birmingham was an old route offered by Cross Country (XC) It used to call via Gatwick and then through Kessington towards Birmingham... it was withdrawn.... There is no route for Train simulator that goes that distance (shame!) [would be a huge file though] so it would have to stop at East Croydon - before it will diverge off...

Those trains are soo loud coming into a station

Very nice video Squirrel, sound was a bit low but otherwise perfect...

That train is Cross Country, only route that I know about that company is Penzance-Glasgow Central VIA Edinburgh

i have been on a train with that colour scheme! :D

Gatwick Airport is in West Sussex, a little further south of South London

paul double yellow means next will be yellow which then means the next will be red.

11:40 its called hassocks i used to live in the village next to it

yes squirrel!

You should do the Woodhead route

The station at 11:38 is Hassocks

In case you still don't know, the double yellow means the signal ahead is yellow and the signal ahead of that yellow is red. Hopefully that explains it, although i've probably phrased it horribly

squirrel your vids are fab

Birmingham new street is not near the NEC, its in the centre of Birmingham. The NEC is at Birmingham International station.

Awesome

+ Squirrel I love trains I'm going in the cab of a cross country voyger soon! at 125mph I think. With my granddad

11:55: it's Hassocks becuase I live there so yeah

this game is so good

I like how controls of the voyger

Platform 7 for the 14:22 Cross Country service to East Croydon calling at:; Three Bridges, Gatwick Airport and East Croydon.

listen to me: 2 yellow lights - Next - 1 yellow - next - 1 red or switching tracks 2 yellow lights - next - 1 Flashing yellow - Watch speed limit switching tracks

10:10 woah! He’s rude!

railworks ajka dovetail games is apparently getting into other simulators... and those raildriver desktop controllers are a bit expensive but at least not as expensive as a racing wheel lol

will Paul overshot or not...................................will find out next time

LEEDS FTW make a train ride from somewhere to Leeds please

Part 2 is private? What?

this journey takes 35mins in real life!!!!!!

Nice. :D

its hassocks, burgess hill & Wivelsfield lol

14.05 that l b Wivelsfield, not Westfield!! Just beyond keymer junction where a line diverges to Lewes

Dude it's always rainy in Brighton

You ordered the raildriver? you lucky guy :) Hope you do a twitch stream after you get it.

Yes, the driver can communicate with the comand central wen he can wask why there´s yellow or red signals or other stuff

It always rains in Brighton lol

double yellow means that the next signal is yellow single yellow means the next signal is red

Have you think of trying ship simulator?

go via means go straight passed the station, doesn't mean stop at it

you didn't drive the southern train :(

New Street station right next to the NEC is it? Lol
