Train Simulator 2015 - British Signalling Guide

In this video, we take a look at British trackside signs and signals. I explain what various trackside signs mean, followed by the basic principles of signalling and different signal types before taking a look at three different driving scenarios. After this, we take a look at the RETB system on the West Highland Line Extension and how to use the in cab radio system to operate it.
This tutorial isn't perfect, and some information has been deliberately left out to keep the length of the video down and because the signals in Train Simulator aren't quite the same as the signals in real life. I noticed a couple of mistakes/bits of missing information which I have corrected with annotations on this video.
The driving scenarios are:
1. Approaching a red signal from high speed.
2. Chasing yellows.
3. Diverging route signals.
I decided not to include a semaphore signal driving tutorial. Semaphore signals are covered in this video, but the principles of approaching them are the same as approaching colour light signals.
Also not included is the TVM 430 signalling system found on the London to Faversham route. This was excluded to try and keep the length of the video down, and also because it's a French signalling system. I will be making a separate, shorter tutorial to cover the TVM 430 system.

And that's what I love about the British signaling, its simplicity.

[@SushiTime1981]

I work for the railways and this is one of the best videos I've seen explaining signalling. Thanks a lot.

What happened to the channel??

[@TheChiefBeef666]

What is simsig?

[@christopheranderson435]

Signals at Liverpool st are Incorrect. Between London Liverpool st and Seven Kings on Both the Main and Electric lines as well as both directions the signaling sequence is Red the signal behind this is Single yellow, the Signal behind this one is Double Yellow, The signal behind this one is also double Yellow, Finally the signal behind this one is Green. The reason for this is because of the amount of traffic especially in the Rush hour

Update on whistle boards, its now no horn between 12am and 6am.

[@jblue727]

The effort that's gone into making this tutorial is exemplary. I'd love to see more of these types of guides. Thank you!

Why is this so interesting. I'm now so aware of signals when I take trains now.

Pete,

[@bobp6742]

Very good explanation of signaling, I was a driver at crewe but left in 1985.

[@AW-kr9fl]

I have to say thank you. You started my journey to becoming a mainline train driver from these videos. You did a better job than certain trainers I’ve encountered 😂

[@levi6859]

Five years later and this video is still relevant nice job.

[@crazysharkgaming8947]

I think this is a great video. Its because you explain clearly, what the newbies need to know about the signals on British Routes. I personally think the British signalling is the best, this is because its so simple.

[@suedavenport7793]

Thank you so much for this video. I loved it. 70yrs old lady with a lifelong love of trains and this made it all so simple. Beautifully explained. Clear and understandable. Have subscribed and will be looking for more of your wonderful work. Sue

Absolutely brilliant, Peter. I have been a railway fan for more than 60 years and thought I knew all about British signals. I was wrong. Many thanks, Roger Crick

[@jdb1583]

Brilliant video! A video that has been long waited for! But the wait has paid off!

[@GreyDawgh]

Awesome video - well worth the wait! Very informative, in a clear and easy way to understand, and with examples too. Perfect! Also, glad to hear about you considering making a route learning video for the excellent West Highland Line Extension. Definitely one of my favorite routes. Thank you for making these awesome videos.

I thought this video will be quite boring but I actually found it really interesting. Thanks for making it.
