Even though I’m not a train driver or apart of any railway staff. I do find it really interesting to watch. And I completely agree on the declaration about the track.

@Steven-qi4gm Жыл бұрын

I’m a trainee driver and on just over 150 hours. I regularly look over my rules but these videos are great for me to have a quick recap. Thanks for your time and effort.

As someone who has full Sentinel PTS AC/DC, I can say this video is very informative and follows the rules identically. Great video for those that maybe taking there PTS course and need a little revision help. This will be handy for when I want to prep for my COSS course as well; your required to retake PTS before you start that!

@DadRail Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much. Hopefully the following videos hold the same value. Good luck with the COSS course. Regrettably I known very little about maintenance ops and rules short of working on T3s.

Enjoying this series so far! I'm a train guard so learnt the fundamentals during my own training. I'm looking forward to learning some driver specific stuff, though. 😊

Another informative video there from Richard, I have a question this week, is lineside equipment called that because it is lineside or could you argue that it is on or near the line, anyway great video 😃

I am waiting for an invite to a Driver's Assessment from a TOC that I applied for (already got invited twice this year but I broke my arm so I couldn't attend) and I am basically getting a headstart on the knowledge lol

@gdwnet Жыл бұрын

As a passenger I still find this stuff interesting, it really helps me to understand what's going on when stuff goes wrong, I wish the train companies themselves would promote this sort of information for those of us who are curious. Also, love the intro music. It's really up beat.

Thank you so much DadRail. I want to become a trainee train driver with absolutely no background knowledge, and Finding your videos are a sigh of relief that I finally have some guidance. I am absolutely loving watching these videos bombarding with information and giving me a ground to start with. PLEASE ALSO TEACH ON HOW TO APPLY TO BECOME A TRAINEE TRAIN DRIVER, WHAT CAN BE THE LINKS OR WEBSITES, THE AUTHENTIC WAY TO THE JOURNEY. I am very serious and investee about being a Train drivee but i have no idea of the right steps or platforms. GOD BLESS;! THANK YOU

You're better knowing nothing, it's very hard to unpick incorrectly learned information. The pts is fine but don't go any further, you'll get confused.

6:55 is the East Coastway from TSW2020? 7:21 Is that the approach to Lewes? 7:40 is this the Great Western Express from TSW3 9:31 now that is definitely Sand Patch Grade from TSW2. Also your forward planning has improved! I now know to expect 3 more videos on this! Well done!

In Ireland, the area between the rails is known as the 5foot…..the 6 ft between the tracks and 10 ft between sets of tracks. Cess is the same.

@cyberleaderandy1 Жыл бұрын

There is a third type of sleeper besides concrete and wood and that is steel. Our local line has the down line with concrete and the upline to Derby in steel.

@franktuckwell196 Жыл бұрын

I was merely interested as to how things have changed since i retired from the railway. I remember being warned about ADDERS in the area we were going to be in, as it was their breeding season.

@Avlarrr1988 Жыл бұрын

Was the cess really extended to the boundary? I was lead to believe that the cess is within 6ft of the running rail, then changing to "trackside" up to the boundary! (Full PTS holder, pway oddbod for 5 years)

@mdhazeldine Жыл бұрын

Great video. 2 questions: 1) Do you have to wear your PPE while actually driving, or do you just have to have it with you and put it on if you have to go lineside? 2) On a four track line where the lines are all equally close together, is the 10 foot still called that?

@desirodriver6651 Жыл бұрын

It might depend on the train operator. Generally for passenger trains, we only wear HVV when walking on the track, and in and around maintenance depots & sidings.

@peterjones6733 Жыл бұрын

Interesting questions! 2 my guess is yes as it identifies a particular space. Hope he sees your question. Discord may be better way to ask though.

@DadRail Жыл бұрын

Hi Mark. Yes the Ten Foot, would still be so called. There is no obligation to wear PPE when driving, but obviously you have to carry it with you. If your duties for the day require full PPE its normally easier to keep it on.

Good Video Richard I film trains and of course volunteer for 35028 Clan Line, I have Autism and work for a Charity called Generate Opportunities that helps people with Learning Disabilities & Autism as a Voices Coordinator this video does help those who want to be a professional train driver and possibly help volunteer Support Crew who work with main line steam engines too. For people who have autism or some learning disabilities it would be a good idea to have some courses in Easy Read if it was possible

Ironically, you notice people who are not wearing them more than those who are.

@dasy2k1 Жыл бұрын

The theory is that it makes you easier to see earlier by the driver who will then blow a warning on the horn giving extra time to get clear if for whatever reason your safe system of work hasn't already got you clear

Is that all you have to do lol try working for network rail and see how you go there with PTS lol

@DadRail Жыл бұрын

Part 1 of 4. Our PTS is mainly related to walking rather than working on the lines, so we dont go into red zone and green zone working etc. Many years ago it was included along with emergency protection, but that has all been moved to other areas of the rule book.
