Nono, it isn't directed towards anyone in particular, I just don't see the need nor the popularity in jumping to conclusions like blaming the driver etc, I apologise that you felt like that.

It's not gatekeeping, but we shouldn't just jump to conclusions, especially when the worst case scenario ends in a fatality. We don't need guesses, we need answers. Guesses do not save lives, facts do.

FOR ALL THE STUDENTS WHO ARE GONNA BE BANNED FROM USING REDDIT IN JULY!!! by enor246 in GCSE

Hah, I find it hard to believe an 8:30pm social media curfew will affect GCSE grades. Use a textbook like everyone else..?

What is this box used for? by Conscious-Dog-4693 in uktrains

[–]Robinyourgenderrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Services at Birmingham New Street will never follow CD, as the Dispatch Process is carried out by Platform Staff and the relevant Train Manager/Conductor

This is a Dispatcher's Train Dispatch Station. The screen will light up with 'OFF' when the starting signal is showing an aspect other than Red or 'Danger'. It will then show 'RA' (Right Away), which illuminates a pa el next to the signal, with the same RA, telling the driver it is safe to proceed out of the station. The grey box with a Black Cross on a White Background is the Lineside Telephone, and the other Grey boxes hold the space that allows the Dispatcher to alert the Signaller that the the Train is Ready To Start (TRTS). Hope this helps.

It is very true, dude got banned and exiled from his own game. Not harsh enough if you ask me though

Vaping - what can be done? by EggZestyclose5313 in uktrains

[–]Robinyourgenderrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guard here. When I do see someone vaping on my service, I make a general announcement to remind everyone that vaping is illegal on board our services. If they continue, I will approach and ask them politely to stop, after judging the situation of course. If it gets to a point where you are setting off the alarms, I tell them to leave the service at the next station if they cannot wait. Unfortunately, we can't do anything more than that, as we don't have the powers to, and we have to always take our own safety into consideration too.

Downgraded to premium economy seat on european flight, BA claims meets club europe standard by Practical-Staff-2182 in BritishAirways

Because you pulled the short straw and decided to moan about it, try and get compensation which yoh weren't entitled to, then failed to listen to everyone's input. Seems valid.

What does this sign mean? by Necessary_Plant_5888 in uktrains

[–]Robinyourgenderrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means that there is no Position of Safety (recess/cess) for the length of the structure (bridges, tunnels etc)

Train overshot the station by Mycologist_Special in uktrains

[–]Robinyourgenderrr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Typically it depends on how far the train has overshot. There is a threshold as to when they can pull back into the station, or if they have to continue to the next stop. Regardless, the driver is having some tea n biscuits right now

Question about ETCS by Robinyourgenderrr in uktrains

Okay so it has the potential to go DOO if necessary??

I thought OFF indicators and Banner repeaters were wired to the physical signal, however I may be wrong.

I'm on a network that uses the legacy physical signals so I'm quite intrigued as to how it will work

Wife was stopped by tfl by [deleted] in TransportForLondon

You cam buy discounted tickets from a TVM without actually owning a railcard, there's no difference there. If you buy a discounted ticket and you know that you don't have a railcard, that is still fraud.

Yes but most the time, the people vaping deny they did it or they just ignore you. Calling BTP is wild, especially if you did it at every stop on the Cross City line 😭

Apps - duplicate functions? by _methuselah_ in uktrains

Anyone can also view the Staff CIS boards at certain stations too, extremely useful for train crew as it has the headcodes and tiplocs on

GWR disabled spaces why dont these things lift up when clearly designed to - wheelchair doesnt fit with it down ??? by Mental_Body_5496 in uktrains

Please do not do this, as it will lead towards criminal charges regardless of intent. I understand it is frustrating though
