If you are distracted, you'll be going nowhere.

Remove the key, and go to nowhere.

So, I can cause a major derailment and I won't care!

Maybe he had a short shift and happened to leave after AND arrive before his colleagues?

Barry must be a manager ;)

united kingdom baby

​@@MicraHakkinen He could actually be the depot manager, that is a role.

@@ben.taylorahh yes the depot manager role, duties include making tea, drinking tea, and ensuring focus on the same newspaper for the duration of your shift 😂😂😂

You arent old fashioned. While a light chit chat keeps sleepiness away but too much of it can be very dangerous. It seriously hampers concentration of the LP.

Talking is good, driving can be difficult when there is too little to pay attention to. Hell, most trains in New South Wales come standard with a CD player or radio. But, there's a tipping point where it stops helping concentration and starts distracting! From the way you say it, it seems they are paying more attention to talking and too little to driving. A bit of talking is good, but trying to play PR games while driving's no good. Management should've had the filming happen quietly and talk to the driver on the platform afterwards. Modern TV studios can mix audio and video well enough to make it work!

That shows a good driver if they can hold a conversation and still professionally drive a train

It's pretty safe with in cab signalling which can slow down the speed of the train on it's own without driver input

@@Cloudrak they don’t have in cab signalling on them trains

same here!

Yh mate

There's that but it's also really tiring. The concentration is mentally tiring.

For me driving a HST (not a Pacer bc is bouncy as hell) is my holiday

As much as I enjoy being a train driver, I think I’d still prefer a beach or something… 😆

I actually thought that was probably why train companies (the ones I travel with at least) issued their drivers with dark or neutral coloured clothing. If you're in the cab, why would you need to wear hi-vis in the first place? H&S these days is a joke.

Yes, that is not bright to wear hi-vis equipment inside, as in our line of job and the company uniform is completely bright Hi-vis yellow-green and it reflects while driving the car. Also he is wearing safety boots? This is how they look from the video. Only the DB Cargo crews wear such equipment.

Paul - are you a bus or train driver ?

@@JimLem 🤦Don’t come all the ‘elf n safety gone mad’ nonsense. He isn’t supposed to wear the hi-vis in the cab, which is the OPs point.

@@user-gi5nh6ng7g If you re-read OPs comment, you'll see that he says H&S expect drivers to wear hi viz in the cab. Give yourself a facepalm when you've read it.

If anything they look like they've gone backwards since the BR days!

Worse still, the biscuits were digestives.

No he shouldn't! The speedo is faulty.

Or the worker at Siemens

@@PottersVideos2 YOU LIKE NOBCHEESE POTTER

And the DRA is on

and the reverser is in neutral

LoL!

John was probarbly driving

@@ec8451 His name is not actually John. For the sake of his own privacy, I'm not going to post his real name. But I personally know him in real life. I've known him for 4 years, and I used to be a colleague of his during my time at SWR. He's a really lovely lad, definitely not one to be distracted in the cab. He's a shining example!

The cause of the collision between the 456 and the engineers train in 2017 was found to be a set of points which were incorrectly set. The driver was not at fault!

@@joeymandrews Impressed that he nominated himself for this video then!

HAAHAH SO FUNNY NO

@James Loveday r/needlesslyrude

Apparently it is common with Shed Drivers

I personally know him in real life. He's a really friendly, lovely lad. Btw his name isn't John. But for the sake of his privacy, I'm not going to post his real name.

unfair

Saw a 701 today

T A same at Waterloo

unfair

Of course he'd get sanctioned if he did lol

This strategy I use when performing my checks after working at the aircraft and toolbox and other job related items.

Over use of commentary driving negates it’s benefits.

If our safety films were like this everyone would had enjoyed them. But the Lufthansa group had other „standards“ and the current employer has the same boring and bland style. What type of train is being depicted in the interior shots? Somehow looks familiar to the one in Train Sim World 2.

It’s great being bilingual, I say that in my second language lol

or Management are c**ts

You do realise this is just acting for the sake of a dramatising a scenario? I happen to know this driver in real life. He is a real driver, but he is not one to get distracted on the job. He is a very focused, sensible driver. And a lovely, friendly guy too. If you've travelled on an SWR train in or out of Waterloo, chances are he has been driving the train you were on! But you needn't worry... he is brilliant at his job! You'd never see him getting distracted or daydreaming whilst driving.

If you are picky about drivers, you'll be going nowhere

Nah, that’s just the brits for you!
