I've watched a few of these Rail Industry videos this morning regarding operating errors and SPADS etc, it's refreshing that there's not a blame culture going on. A mistakes been made, lets learn from it. Fair play
It's like in the aviation industry.where, I think, this attitude comes from. Assuming no malice on the part of the person who has made a mistake, it is more important to learn from incidents and share the knowledge than punish whoever was at fault. The aim is to reduce accidents and incidents - and you don;t do that if everyone is too scared to report when they have done something wrong.
@@thomasm1964 I work in aviation and I can tell you now there very much is a blame culture management will pass the blame to team teamers/crew leaders who will then blame the GSO (Ground support operatives) as no one wants to own up to mistakes big or small but it seems in the rail industry they dont care about who is blame so long as they can learn from the mistakes and document what happened for future reference
Edward McDermott That sounds like a retrograde step. I thought the industry had learned from the sixties, seventies and eighties that that attitude does not work and had changed the culture. Which country do you work in?
@@thomasm1964 The problem is that while the industry as a whole may learn and while these videos are made there are still often toxic management chasing money over everything else.
Interesting & thought provoking. I know it's not the interviewee's fault, but... WTF is a train manager ? What's wrong with Locomotive Engineer per ASLEF, maybe driver doesn't carry the same cred.
@@marcuspotter5590 I'd imagine they'd just be called the guard or conductor. I'm not familiar with any freight in the UK that has a guard though so its a non-issue haha.
I do watch some rail safety films, not sure why as I don't work on the rails, then again I did use to work close to shunting engines. I just came to this film because of the picture in the suggested column. WTF is Johnny Vegas doing in a rail training film? I see Mike Hope doesn't look like Johnny when the film is moving, just the frozen picture.
Dr.Andy Hill Drivers are the people who as the name suggests, Drive the trains, Train managers are a member of staff who yet again as the name states, manage the train, however they still may hold driving qualifications and drive if / when required.
@Lazys The Dank Engineer the four foot’s the space between the rail (even though they are apparently 4ft 8 and a half inches). The bit his train was occupying at the time. The six foot is the bit between the two rail sets.
@Lazys The Dank Engineer oh, well that explains it. Either way, if anyone else is actually confused about it they’ll have an explanation won’t they?😁 have a good day anyway.
Is that Paul narrating? This guy is ALL OVER the British railroad network
You'll be going nowhere!

1:47 ouch
That line wasn't electrified at all.
is it me or Mick Chriss look like patrick stewart??
I was thinking the same thing. though he does have a sean connery vibe to him
JFC, WELL DONE...................
The years haven't been kind to Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Max Headroom, have they?
Aaron Burton is now at London North Western Railway in Northampton.
In that situation it would appear there was no powered rails.
Belive most of these incidents happened in non electrified parts of the network
AARON THE TRAIN DRIVER LOOKS LIKE HARRY HILL!

A train manager is a guard.
@@marcuspotter5590 GBRf refer to their drivers as Train Managers.
@@bonkersabouttrainz Which is confusing. What if a freight train has a guard on it? Then what do you call them?
@@marcuspotter5590 I'd imagine they'd just be called the guard or conductor. I'm not familiar with any freight in the UK that has a guard though so its a non-issue haha.
@@marcuspotter5590 Assistant Train Manager or Rail Operative.
I wish GBRF still ran to aylesbury!

What is the difference between a driver and a train manager?

@@misahohimeima1981 Train Manager is just GBRf speak for drivers. Nothing about "if/when required", that is their sole job.
Would be nice if this was in HD
Would be nice if this was in 4K

5:35 Mike Hope looks a bit like Nick Frost...sexy!
Then don't hit the deck? You probably wouldn't be walking down the 6 foot if it had current rails in it anyway.
What else should you do then?

Omg this is so shaming.
