Awesome, helped me out.. I always brake too early, and go too slowly, crawling into the station .

@VirtualRailDriver Ай бұрын

@@Wolf-6567 I do that every now and then! Especially on routes I’m not familiar with! Also, thanks for the comment!

It took me a while to get the braking down and I still mess it up occasionally. Like you say 30mph platform entry speed and avoiding B3 unless really required is a solid technique.

@@MrScootmcg Indeed! And I too mess up every now and then! Especially on the routes that I don’t drive on very often!

ive been playing train sim world and train sim classic for quite a while and i would say ive mastered driving i stop at most car markers. all i need to do is route learn and not throw my passengers across when i go to stop as i usually go into step 3 which isnt the best to use tho come to a complete stop

@VirtualRailDriver Ай бұрын

I tend to leave step 3 alone and only use it as a back-up! Step 2 for the initial brake application then jump between off/release, steps 1 and 2 where necessary! Always aim to come to a stand in step 1 for passenger comfort!

I have been wondering about this for quite a while. In the UK, is there really no designated sign informing you of an upcoming station? Saw the other comment mention a sign in Belgium, these signs also exist in all of Eastern Europe (or East of the iron curtain) and Germany. A white board with 3 diagonal black stripes, always placed a fixed distance away from a "platform stopping point sign" (or platform end, etc.) depending on the max allowed line speed.

@@slovak_eagle Drivers in the UK rely on route knowledge when it comes to braking points for stations! They tend to look out for trackside landmarks e.g. signals, bridges, speed boards, bends! If the speed limit is low enough however, they can simply use line of sight!

@@VirtualRailDriver I see. Very intresting. I guess there is no real need for such signs unlike here. The type of train can vary a lot, even on the same service. It can be loco hauled, dmu, emu. Not to mention the amount of cars and general weight changes as well. From what I have seen, loco hauled trains are very rare in the UK now. I guess route knowledge coupled with driving experience of a specific unit gets rid of the variety I assume, therefore operating a train is pretty consistent.

@@slovak_eagle Absolutely correct! Each passenger service in the UK tends to be worked by the same model of train everyday! The number of carriages normally stays the same but can sometimes change!
