Hey everyone, Thanks for the heads up and I appreciate any pointers. I'll maybe see if I can get some work with Scotrail/Network Rail but if anyone who works in the industry happens to hear of anything, last resort cleaners, I'd be interested. I'll need to sit down and write a CV for the first...

Hi Folks, Due to the pandemic, my photography and video business is essentially getting little to no work and until events come screaming back (which doesn’t look likely till late next year), I’m wondering if there’s anywhere hiring on some shape or form? So not to sound naive, I’m aware that I...

Could I be a pain and ask someone to share the google coordinates for the line in question?

Out of curiosity, what signage is there to tell a driver they’re entering a part of the line that has an overhead supply or would it be more simply that they’d see the overhead supply approaching?

From witnessing some of the chaos at haymarket, it also doesn’t help that drunk people mess about with trains as they are boarding. One guy was messing about going on and off the Birmingham VT service and causing further delays. As an Edinburger, I’m going to echo what has been said previously...

You’re absolutely correct! Haha! Not long after posting it did in fact go about and recouple at the other end!

PURELY speculation but I thought they didn’t change engines at Waverley? Reckon they’re doing a rigorous check? It was coupled when I arrived but they’ve now disconnected. If anyone has any other questions I’m here till 10.55

Question: So folk have been saying that the TM was the one to activate the emergency brakes in one coach which helped to slow the train down. Was that the one brake for that carriage or would it have activated all braking in the subsequent carriages? Would the isolation been exactly where the...

I knew what you meant and knew you weren't downplaying the seriousness. Don't take it to heart, some people just like to bash away at the keyboard.

Bit of an odd one but so far I’ve noticed at Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central, their main tannoy speakers crackle and pop. Is this electrical interference or an anti pigeon measure?

Interesting! You learn something new every day. I guess whoever dictates that has to be bang on with their calculations on speed vs a dead section of OHE

By high speed coast, do you mean that they’ll hit a part of the OLE that isn’t electrified and will coast until they pick up the electrified section? Just curious.

Anyone got any idea as to what they’re implying in this article when they say “Two devices left on railways in 'Brexit-related bid to cause major disruption'”? It seems intentionally vague but I’m confused what they mean? When they say Brexit-related do you think they mean some sort of...

Thanks man!

Question in the thread title essentially. Just curious if anyone has a detailed explanation? Is it just the moisture I’m guessing simply put? Might seem trivial but I’m just curious. Does it have any effect on the train and the supply?

In all fairness to you and to defend you a little bit, she may have sent you it out of shock or without knowing the full context/extent of what had happened. Unprofessional? Perhaps but it could well have been a dog if the driver didn’t see anything, especially considering they thought it was a...

Just to clarify, managed to have a google there and it’s exactly the film I thought you meant.

Is this the one that’s on YouTube and has kids essentially having sports day on what’s made out to be a live line? It’s an incredibly bizarre film but it’s great at getting the message across albeit in a very abstract way. Definitely has that 70s charm considering it’s all shot on film.

Hey all. Simple one and hopefully in the right sub-forum. Am I right in assuming the clunking you hear sometimes as a 156 pulls into a station is the brakes? Just curious.

I can’t help but laugh at the Darwin Award worthyness of this. OBVIOUSLY I don’t condone nore would want a driver to go through this should it go horribly wrong but natural selection my friends. If you’re stupid enough to think it’s worth doing for banter, they should be having serious words...
