OMG, that's crazy!!!! I have never seen that happen as soon as a train has Departed!! I have been on a train though when the Emergency Brakes were applied. I was on a Class 319 from London Euston to Watford Junction, we were travelling at top speed (100mph) and then we just suddenly stopped! Everybody looked around at each other because nobody knew why and then we just continued as normal to Watford Junction, no announcements at all. I wonder why they were applied in this case, great capture!!

Hi class 387

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Interesting catch

[@GTRRailwaysTrainspotter]

Yep

[@thekentishtrainspotter3052]

I’d love to know the reason for this, the speed limit is 40 just beyond Preston park and he was no where near 40….

[@313rail]

Spad means signal passed at danger

I wonder what the people on the platform and the train had to say about it

[@GTRRailwaysTrainspotter]

Yes

[@313rail]

He Must Have had a spad

[@HMStrainspotter]

That's what I'm thinking

[@313rail]

It did get re routed to Brighton after this

[@HMStrainspotter]

@@313rail likely then

[@313rail]

Yeah

[@GTRRailwaysTrainspotter]

He did SPAD after the signal turned back on him after he had no time to react

[@shacarioking5149]

The train may have run a red signal

[@GTRRailwaysTrainspotter]

It did SPAD after the signal turned back on him when he was departing

[@313rail]
