    Remember an incident a few years ago now on a train where the driver said' I apologise for the delay I having trouble getting my pants down' it certainly raised a laugh or two!

    Wow, there is a hell of a lot of tunnel running. It took nearly 19 minutes of non-stop travelling before daylight emerged. 'It's really quite tragic'. Yes it is. I want a ride on the extended network, but will pick a branch that doesn't spend so much time underground. 😬

    How come the signals look so similar to the French TVM 430 Flags. Do the 345s use TVM?

    • @fetchstixRHD
      @fetchstixRHD Před rokem

      No, CBTC. The "TVM-style" "block" markers seem to have become the "standard" for any cab signalling, including some ETCS (without TVM also fitted) schemes in the world 🤔

  • @jdavis460
    @jdavis460 Před rokem

    What happened to the rule about numbers in the cabs then? (I know the underground bit is auto but from Stratford it's not). I 'm a retired driver and uased to watch Crossrail being built every day I drove past. Glad I stuck to overground though looks very very boring in the tunnel.

    • @alexgrundon2346
      @alexgrundon2346 Před rokem

      We weren’t all in the cab at the same time. We were all mic’d up but not always present. And for anyone who’s not a train driver the view is exciting. But thanks for watching.
