I used to wake up and watch Saturday morning cartoons. Now I wake up and watch Saturday morning train crashes 😮

"Tripcocks and Trainstops" sounds like a Magical Disney movie for rail nerds.

Now prominently displayed in the cab of (at least) the 95 stock is the sticker, in yellow with bold black letters 'When passing a signal at danger, expect to find a train ahead'. That is a constant reminder of what every driver is (now) taught in week one of their driving course. I always wondered what incident caused that to be added to the cab, as it seems self evident to me, and now I know. Thank you :)

The Granville rail disaster occurred 1977 Sydney Australia. It remains the worst rail disaster in Australian history; 83 people died and 213 were injured. These memories never leave.

Has it ever occurred to John that the reason we come here is for the geeky train and nuclear stuff? Yes, that means we want more of the signaling!

Like trains? Do next the multiple accidents in Mexico City's underground system. In the last 5 years it had multiple crashes, fires, and even elevated sections in the 12 line falling down.

My sympathies to you, John, regarding your cold. I can relate, having a sore throat cold for the last week. Losing energy even while sitting still, it is both physically and mentally draining. Wishing you a speedy recovery, since I am hoping for the same. It can be a real drag to get through, not to mention when you would like to do some real work, but your body doesn't want to do much.

Telling a Brit to switch from tea to infusions is a bit insulting, but it might be the best...

When I did Work Experience at Morden, I chatted to one of the Northern Line drivers about what it was like driving a train in the tunnels. In addition to nuances like having the cab light on or off, they briefly talked about what they referred to as "two greens," basically in situations where there are two green lights one above the other, they talk about the current signal and what can be expected ahead (the top aspect is the current one, while the bottom aspect applies to the subsequent signal)

Whoever came up with Speed Control After Trip was probably very pleased with themselves - not only for the dirty acronym, but it's a nifty feature. Reminds me of something I would build and be proud of.

We love a good geeky bit PD! Was down London the other day and thought about you and Jago whilst travelling the tube, it's great hearing your voices as you see notable things 😂

Those of us who originally come from the North West of London suffer serious nose bleeds if we head into South East London..... Anyway, this video gains a magnificent 7 on the JDG scale - nice work John, and your LT signalling background came through pretty clearly.

I never considered how much of a disaster a train crash in a tight tunnel could be... 😳

Wow, that rule 55 seems insanely unsafe. To proceed at a stop signal in Germany one has to have a written "command" which can be given over telephone or voice radio link.
