"Oh that's some lovely scenery"
"SHIT I'M SPEEDING"´
Pretty much sums up Paul lol
Words Of Fame Second Place (the first one is:"Oh look a working car LETS TAKE THE FENDER OF IT" and third is by Gary Love "Hi squirrel. Have you ever eaten a squirrel? It's very nice. A it's a little bit like lamb, very sweet. Loverly."
xD
The AWS warnings are not always signal warnings because they can be also speed limit pre-warnings ;)
If you ever have any questions about trains feel free to ask. If I dont know I can always ask my grandpa. Thank you for the great videos and keep up the good work.
On this route, when approaching the platforms you see a red arrow at the far end of the platform (on the HUD). To get a good stop you need to stop the train with the front end on the red arrow, so you need to be accurate. If you miss that red arrow then the stop is a fail.
Scenery on this is amazing, cant wait to see whats coming up in part 3.
I used to live in the final town he went through on this, and it's really rather realistic, especially the docks (although the passenger cruisers are more in Rosyth near Inverkeithing, and more like Car Ferries and Naval ships). Either way, great video, can't wait for part 3, going through my current town, and the one where my school is (Inverkeithing itself).
0:30 the perfect stop! lol
YAY! I think you 'failed' the first station not because you were late, but because you didn't open the doors to let people on!
love this vid i stay in kirkcaldy and the detailing in the game is spot on
Once you have worked 5 or so years as an engineer you can start applying for management positions, this is where you make the big money. Though you will have to work long hours its worth it. my uncle has been on the railroad for 11 years and has worked his way up to superintendent, with no college degree, and makes 300k give or take some. Sometimes he will get called in at midnight for a wreck or they missed a shipment, but he loves it. It is also a very high stress job.
Great commentary on your train sims. Enjoying this channel. Like from me.
Kirkcaldy is a Large Town
love the vids paul, keep them coming and thanks for doing them, happy new year all the best for 2014 to you and your family
Part of my family lives in Kirkcaldy and I can confirm that the station looks pretty much like that. As do all the things on the route from there to Edinburgh Waverley. And even up to Dundee. If that makes sense.
Kirkcaldy used to be the manufacturing center for vinyl/linoleum flooring hence it's size. I can vouch that all these places do really exist, I live in Dundee. FYI Leuchars is pronounced loo cars and Kirkcaldy is pronounced Kirkcoddy, the L is silent. You should come and visit these places. I will say I'm impressed that you use google maps to show the route. The videos are great btw, :-)
My grandpa was a train driver and my uncle was one also. It all depends on how many people are traveling, but for the most part you will have 5-6 routs you will run. That is also in America, I do not know about Europe.
Cracking video, I visit the Bombardier works at Barton Under Needwood with work, they have a Monitor in there reception that displays where all the voyagers are and if there are any problems with them and what breakdowns they have had. Also I'm certain from watching a tv program that there is a foot pedal, but not sure on what this does.
9:40, train drivers would stay on the same route permanently because they are trained so they know were the signals, platforms etc are. 13:07 also trains have a speed taco like trucks but the drivers do not have to replace it.
Yes, they have GPS tracking. The company that operates trains on this route (Virgin) is tracking their trains. Also they can track trains that ar coming the opposite way, as well as other companies can track Virgin's trains on their route.
XD the random guy stood right next to the track at 23:59 lol
He's a worker on the tracks who works for national rail
+omar salem Network rail.
More train sim vids please squirrel super vid as usual keep up the good work
I love your train videos keep em coming
DaSquirrelsNuts in Australia you have one route normally but occasionally you get a different one
Ive been waiting since 6 o'clock this morning
yes i know markinch! the building on the right used to be the haig whisky factory
kirkcaldy is not a city the building is what you would call your town hall
its a shipbreakers at inverkeithing
No-one knows the speed, but sometimes staff will stand on a certain stretch of track or next to a signal pole with a speed gun.
I think it does give you points in career mode. Just not in practise, being that harsh is good practise! lol
thank you for showing vid i did so enjoy watching
I got to go in the train cab of that train in real life and it's exactly the same apart from the radio which they still have but they don't use because they use a blue one
The scenerys fantastic
No paul, Kirkcaldy is a large town situated near Edinburgh and in Fife. Hope tht helped u
At 10:04 I could just about make out that the train passing did flash you with it's tail lights
When the train goes back to the depot it has a black box recorder on it and it gets read each time it gets to the depot
these Voyagers where ment to replace the HSTs of old days. They where made to run as a pair giving 8 to 10 coaches, but then the damn bean counters came along and decided that running them as a single set would be a good way to save money. I hate this planet sometimes! Remember that next time there are not enough seats and you have to stand or sit on the floor.
Pretty sure he did open the doors because when he hit T you see someone spawn into existence. Train Simulator has this funny thing where it won't open your doors if you're not stopped at the right part of the platform.
Or maybe its a glitch with the scenario.
I have just purchased ts2020 on PS4 really hpe they put more of the this on it love these trains
Not 100% sure, but I remember seeing a show about how there are centers around the country (here in the USA) that monitor trains.
I don't know a lot about it, but I'd have to think it would be the same in Europe as well.
Yes you get monitored on the computer they can track it and it gets put onto report same as a spad
Kirkcaldy - Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown old stomping ground - probably the only thing its famous for
The other livery you get this train in is cross country but that train was a hst in east coast
Pual the station at markinch is so realistic
You should try the NEC (Northeast Corridor).
Unshould try the great western main line from london to penzance a really nice line
Happy new year
More train sim please squirrel keep up the vids
the Virgin Voyager, that you are driving usually have 4/5 coaches on it but the Virgin Pendolino has 10/11 coaches on it, that might be were you were getting confused it Part 1
nice video paul
U finally did it
Or west coast mainline
kinghorn tunnel in real life has a kink in it so that why you have slow speed before the caravan park on way out of it
Kirkcaldy station looks so unlike the real one in this route :P
Remember to check the train brake
Train simulator 2009 you can drive a boat :-)
I Have That Game :3
You can drive a boat in a train sim game?!?!
Great Videos, keep up the good work!
Can You do some videos of the class 395 please?
Also can you keep to the cab more when making ts2014 vids.
More Train Sim please!!!!!!!
Great video. Too bad almost everybody can't get that kind of performance in TS2014.
Do the full one
Would've gotten passengers at Ladybank if you had opened the doors lol
in the dutch royal mail vans there used to be bo-co's which stands for board computer they monitored all sorts of things like fuel consumption acceleration speeds top speeds the braking speeds then after the run a the computers where put back and read out the driver got a penalty if he didnt have a good reason for this behaviourb i guess a similar system sits in a train but then with added gps connection so you know where he was driving at what speed
Being a train driver is a great job, you have to start out as a conductor. Being a conductor you make 65-80k, you have to do that for about 2 years, then you can apply for train driver school, there is a technical name for it, but I cant remember. Then once you become a train driver you will get paid 125-150k depending on seniority, how good you are, and other factors. Since you are running people you can only run 8 hours a day, after that they have pay you extra. Then after 5 years you will start to work on your pension. You do not need a college degree, so this is a good way to go if you dont want to go to college.
correct
That other apparent super voyager in the other paint livery is a class 125.
No. It's a class 43.
yeh i slipped up there...
trains mad you are both correct... It is considered a intercity 125.. Or just the HST or its class which is class 43.. Not many people say class 43 though... It's usually the 125 or the HSt
i know i made a mistake!
Well I just asked the ol man about the bein monitored on your speed. He says the trains have a black box style of device. Which logs everything including speed.
6up is platform 6 on the up line
There's devices on the tracks and in the Train to monitor speed it's kind of like a black box In a plane in case of an accident they can see what happened before the accident
aw paul why..it hurt to see you consider skipping a stop when you didn't need to.
better late and safe than never mate true
Markinch looks exactly like that
hi mint video but you can change your destination blind using f12 and F11
U know wat would be good, if there was a button that would keep the speed of the train the same when evernu want to so that u wouldn't have to keep changing all the time
my dad has been doing this roat for 5 years
done this route in TS 2015 with a much lower spec comp you lose much better scenery that you show. wish I had the cash to up-grade! but still yes a great run.
I have heard that apparently they have speed camera along the line....they dnt need the flash, jus recorded what time the train passed and they can work it out. I am not 100% sure tho
London to Fversham route maybe?
can you do plane simulator ?
You did not open the doors
yes he did
Do the southeastern line
Kirkcaldy is not a city it is a large Scottish town with a population of ~50,000 people and is in the top 10 largest settlements in Scotland
