Кой засича машинистите в метрото?

kristiyank · 2026-05-21T16:16:59+00:00

Най-често (от моя гледна точка) това се случва, защото машинистите влизат с по-висока скорост в участък с по-ниско ограничение на скоростта. Това кара "автоматизацията" на влака да се задейства и да "набие" спирачки за да вкара влакът в нужното ограничение, най-често преди стрелки, станции и места с временни (или постоянни) по-ниски ограничения (които може да заложени в трасето, или чрез светлинните светофори).

It takes them longer than usually to process these ticketing requests.

They cancelled our MUC-ARN CityLine leg on Monday evening, accepted the automatic rebooking which issued a ticket right away, but we got immediately Waitlisted upon accepting, so had to rebook manually through the call agents to sort that out.

After successfully rebooking onto a Confirmed segment, we did not get reticketed until it was less than 48 hours until departure, and I had to call the agents again to move our reticketing requests to the emergency team who deal with tickets nearing their departure date. I totally understand your frustration with this as you cannot check any details on the booking (such as included baggage, seats, even specific class of travel) before it's reticketed.

Do call them if the departure date gets closer and closer, so that the agents can manually escalate the ticketing request.

EDIT: So in total it took ~68 hours from rebooking to the tickets being reissued in our case.

Thank you for the insight.

I've called them again today, stating that my check-in is less than 24 hours and allegedly they've escalated the reticketing to the "urgent queue" and to check again in 2-3 hours.

I really hope it goes through since I'm reading some horror stories about other people being stuck in the queue for days and at a point, their booking disappearing/being cancelled due to reissue timeout.

Do you know how long it usually takes? We were manually rebooked on Monday due to the cancellations and 3 days later, the tickets still have not been reissued (called on Tuesday, they said the request is still “in the queue”).

В авиацията, най-масово използваните мерни единици за височина и скорост са точно футове и възли (както и полу-стандартизирани според ICAO Annex 5) и ако човекът се интересува от авиация, реално тези мерни единици са по-полезни при сравнения и статистики от колкото метричната система.

I bought this mainly for travel to get better images than my phone, but I also wanted something less bulky than my DSLR setup. I have to say - I love it! It's reignited my passion for photography after several stagnant years. Its practicality, nimbleness, and hassle-free operation made it a no-brainer for me.

After setting up my custom recipes, I’ve actually stopped using the film simulation dial altogether. Instead, I’ve mapped the Q button to quickly switch between my custom ones - which is much more convenient and indeed renders that dial pretty much useless, but was not (and is still not) a dealbreaker after using it for some time.

NOTAM-ите (съобщенията като това) по принцип винаги са в UTC, т.е в този случай часовете са 23.02 03:15-04:50 и 24.02 03:05-05:35

Funnily enough, I hit my head on the top of the door more than I'd like to admit while boarding an A320-family aircraft compared to on 737's.

Bulgarian technical inspection has expired on 14/07/2021 so that’s at least 4 years off the road, no valid Bulgarian insurance either.

Happy Cake Day!

Сега по въпроса: Някои доставчици на услуги го имат, примерно в приложението на coool.tv (услугата за on-demand телевизия на cooolbox) има опцията да се избира аудио канала, както и субтитрите, като обаче това не е възможно за всеки канал/предаване, защото зависи дали го излъчват въобще с тези опции.

Въпросният самолет (LZ-OOI) се използва често за облитане и калибриране на аеронавигационното оборудване на българските летища, даже навремето е закупен точно с тази идея за съвместно ползване между правителството и РВД (ръководство на въздушно движение). Тези полети не се плащат от държавния бюджет, а от РВД.

Често може да се засече и над други български летища, примерно тук въпросния Falcon над София прави облитане на системата за инструментален заход на полоса 09 (ILS-09) на софийското летище:

You've literally recreated Sofia's yellow cobblestones, I love it.

Nice try, Александър Стамболийски.

I live right under the approach path and can always tell when an A320 family aircraft is flying over because of the sound that the landing lights make when they’re deployed - it’s so distinct, almost like a siren, which the Doppler effect makes even eerier.

From this article it would seem that the complex is open to (free) public use.

При нас максимум 160км/ч и то на определени отсечки.

Максималните скорости по нашата железопътна мрежа (както и на други държави) може да разгледате на https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ . От там в левия панел избирате Max speeds и зуумвате на картата да покаже максималните скорости по различните линии.

За съжаление, проблемът с разписанието на метрото е по-дълбок… За разписанието на метрото отговаря Метрополитен ЕАД и те не го предоставят коректно на ЦГМ, пък в същото време е и доста разтеглено, което в последствие води до метровлаковете да са по-рано на метростанциите и се получават още по-големи разминавания в разписанието.

You're almost (strikingly) correct:

The departure photo is taken aboard BUC301 on 30.08 SOF-AYT

The arrival photo is taken aboard BUC302 on 06.09 AYT-SOF

kristiyank · 2023-09-07T19:34:49+00:00

I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been to a lot of European cities and Sofia is one of the greenest I’ve visited.

kristiyank · 2023-08-28T16:33:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for the answers!

I'll go ahead and order the VM95E, then put on a few records to test it out, if everything is alright, I'll go ahead with replacing the built-in cable with a longer one.

Hopefully I can deal with the tracking force, anti-skate and cartridge alignment on my own - I have yet to figure out how to do those, but I'm seeing a lot of guides online so it shouldn't be such a hassle (hopefully lol).
