Good. Some people don't understand that train drivers have exactly the same responsibilities as airline pilots. I wish that some drivers in the haulage industry looked upon it like this too. I fly light aircraft, often with friends and I see parallels between what I have to do to prepare the plane, the logs I have to keep, the rules I have to follow, and HGV driving, daily (and en route) checks, tachographs, following English and EU rules and company policy. Professional jobs are just that. Not for idiots.

Hi George! I'm Brett, checking in from Northern California. I also am a rail enthusiast. I find it fascinating educating myself on your railways. As a matter of fact, I just learned what a SPAD was AND subscribed your Channel. Thanks! best wishes to all.

As a retired railway signaller we used to attend these safety brief videos on a regular basis generally at Colchester or Norwich where I was based on the Lowestoft line. Cat.A Cat.B Cat.C and Cat.D SPADs were if I recall the rule which I won’t go into here. Certainly brings back my BR and Network Rail days to mind.

The 0:29 to 1:40 mark of the video, mentions a driving instructor who gives a technical explanation of the braking system of a particular locomotive. I agree with the narrator that an instructor should not give such a technical explanation at that time, but also that the instructor needs to devote his full concentration to signals in front of him and the trainee. Had I been in the instructor’s position, I would’ve discussed the need to slow the train down to a speed to enable the trainee to stop that train safely and not have to apply emergency brake. Although to what degree the trainee is responsible is debatable, what isn’t is that the instructor bears even more responsibility for distracting the trainee from doing the job the trainee needs to do: stop that train before the first red signal.

At a terminus station there could be trains coming out of the station towards you on the same line, with the intention to use a crossover not yet set in reverse. Single yellow off the platform, inbound train clears points, upgrade to double yellow/green for outbound.

Google can't answer my question, wow! What speeds do drivers travel in relation to the line speed when going through yellow and double yellow caution signals?

@thegardener6342 8 жыл бұрын

+mrnoodles100 In response to your question, there is no stated speed. The rule is that a driver selects a speed that enables him to stop in time. A single yellow means "caution - next signal red" so the driver, based on the type of train he is driving and prevailing conditions (eg railhead conditions), selects a speed that he knows will allow him to stop in good time. Double yellow means "preliminary caution - next signal showing yellow" and the same applies; select a speed appropriate to conditions to allow you to stop in good time.

@pigeonette 4 жыл бұрын

The Gardener Yeah, we’ll be slowing down, but there’s no set speed as such. When reaching the AWS for a red signal, we’ve been taught to do around 15-20 mph. :)

@DaveSuperThomas 2 жыл бұрын

The spacing between signals can vary considerably as can the gradients of the running line between them. So if there's a mile of 1:80 rising gradient between the Single Yellow and the following Red, a driver might react differently to when the gradient between the Caution and the Stop signals is falling at 1:80!

This seems a nightmare for drivers. The signal system needs addressing as a health and safety issue..rather than passing the book on some issues with smooth talking video's

@thegardener6342 8 жыл бұрын

+cosgrove notts Not at all. Drivers are expected to know the line and the Automatic Warning System, which gives audible indications of the signals, and which will apply the brakes if a caution warning is not acknowledged, is there to help. The fact that SPADs are very rare, in spite of the many thousands of trains that run daily, shows that the system is inherently safe. No system is perfect - look at the recent German accident to prove that - but the rail industry's enviable safety record (I hope I'm not tempting fate by saying this!) should speak for itself.
