Driving The Bakerloo Line (Train Sim World 2)

[@kristofvanderauwera5739]

To answer the question, I drive with the cab lights off, although some of my colleagues prefer to have the lights on. Reflection in the front windscreen is a problem in the tunnels when the cab is fully lit (at least it is on my line, with the 95's), and with the lights off I get the added advantage of being able to spot any suspicious shadows before entering a lit platform, not to mention it makes monitoring the closed door visuals (the pilot light) much easier. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, I know where all the buttons and switches are in the dark :) Things not often modeled in simulators: when leaving a tunnel after nearly an hour underground, you get into the habit of turning the cab light on as soon as you can see daylight to get your eyes accustomed to the sudden brightness, even on overcast days. That prevents being temporarily blinded. Love your videos, hope to see you on my line soon :)

[@rumbler247]

Geoff, I'm not a tube driver, however I do shunt Class 66s, and when doing so in the dark, as Matt said, I drive with the Cab light off, as driving with it on reduces viability and I get a nice reflection of my high vis clothes (and ugly mug) in the window 😂

I played the first TSW game having been a driver out of Manchester Victoria just after the time it was set(Redbank closed while I was in training) I was amazed how the game really captured the experience the developers did a wonderful job. If I may add I went on to have a pretty unique career working on the railway not just in the UK and would like to answer the real world application question that was asked, this platform could unquestionably be used to train road learning especially around major stations with multiple combinations of routes the issue when you road learn live so to speak is you can spend ages training somewhere(I remember going up to Preston to do so and the first "live" train I ran into the station was through a combination of signaling I had not seen once while road learning, plus there is no "dead" time)

[@ianmcclavin]

I'll have to get one of these...ironic that history's repeating itself "real-train wise," the Bakerloo had the oldest stock on the system with the 1938 Stock in the 70's and 80's, when the '72 Stock was still relatively new...now the '72 Stock's the oldest, again on the Bakerloo!! Re: the '38 Stock on the IoW, I hope they can keep going until January with just 2 trains, they were back to hourly over there yesterday with one broken down out of service. They all got shipped over there in 1988/89 in NSE livery, it's only since privatiseation that they've found their way back into LT red, via that wonderfully garish "dinosaur" livery!!

[@jonasrosengren9093]

This was a really good episode Geoff! I like that you managed to get a interview with Math. I play TSW 2 on my PC and like it quite much and I am an ex train driver (in Switzerland), and I can confirm that TSW is probably the most realistic in terms of driving experience I've ever seen. TS2020 I also have, and this might be better from a pure graphical point of view, considering the vast selection of routes available, but in dynamics I think TSW is better.
