Ok that was humerous, but as a driver the one thing health and safety don't seem to understand is that wearing a hi Vis jacket while driving is dangerous as when any light shines in the cab the orange shows on the windscreen and can literally block your view, I NEVER drive with mine on, but H and S expect you too, there good at therea and bullshit at least most of them are. Thank you for posting.
I actually thought that was probably why train companies (the ones I travel with at least) issued their drivers with dark or neutral coloured clothing. If you're in the cab, why would you need to wear hi-vis in the first place? H&S these days is a joke.
Yes, that is not bright to wear hi-vis equipment inside, as in our line of job and the company uniform is completely bright Hi-vis yellow-green and it reflects while driving the car. Also he is wearing safety boots? This is how they look from the video. Only the DB Cargo crews wear such equipment.
@@I7275-p2d If you re-read OPs comment, you'll see that he says H&S expect drivers to wear hi viz in the cab. Give yourself a facepalm when you've read it.
I saw a shocking (to me) video of first Eurostar to Amsterdam, the driver was chatting and laughing all the way at 100+ mph with press, management etc in the cab. I would rather have seen a serious concentration on the driver's task but nobody else seemed worried! Maybe I am just old fashioned.
You arent old fashioned. While a light chit chat keeps sleepiness away but too much of it can be very dangerous. It seriously hampers concentration of the LP.
Talking is good, driving can be difficult when there is too little to pay attention to. Hell, most trains in New South Wales come standard with a CD player or radio. But, there's a tipping point where it stops helping concentration and starts distracting! From the way you say it, it seems they are paying more attention to talking and too little to driving. A bit of talking is good, but trying to play PR games while driving's no good. Management should've had the filming happen quietly and talk to the driver on the platform afterwards. Modern TV studios can mix audio and video well enough to make it work!
Being scared of crashing is a great way to not get distracted, so put it this way, if you drove a train and just drank water and was worried about crashing and seen all lights you would be safe.

It seems like SOMEONE is thinking along the right 'lines' ( no pun intended !) The industry standard for keeping focussed with rail and other public transport staff ( not just drivers ) is called 'Shisa Kanko' - it works ! Thanks to JR ( Japan Rail ) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling
All corporate ("internal use only" 😉) training and refresher videos are usually a yawnsome load of rubbish, but at least SWR have tried to keep the attention of the intended audience by injecting a bit of humour. Five-Charlie-One-One - ECS for the 0650 (2C11) 0650 WAT-RDG? - for some reason that "headcode" sticks in my head as empties from either WD or CJ sidings ... Thanks for the upload though! (and it takes about 30 seconds to read the "news" in the Metro - and maybe another couple of minutes if you do the crosswords 😜)
If our safety films were like this everyone would had enjoyed them. But the Lufthansa group had other „standards“ and the current employer has the same boring and bland style. What type of train is being depicted in the interior shots? Somehow looks familiar to the one in Train Sim World 2.
You do realise this is just acting for the sake of a dramatising a scenario? I happen to know this driver in real life. He is a real driver, but he is not one to get distracted on the job. He is a very focused, sensible driver. And a lovely, friendly guy too. If you've travelled on an SWR train in or out of Waterloo, chances are he has been driving the train you were on! But you needn't worry... he is brilliant at his job! You'd never see him getting distracted or daydreaming whilst driving.
Barry has been sat there all day drinking cups of tea and reading the same newspaper.
what a life.
Maybe he had a short shift and happened to leave after AND arrive before his colleagues?
Barry must be a manager ;)

"The last thing you wanna be doing on holiday is worrying about an incident you had at work".
I like that.

So, I can cause a major derailment and I won't care!
A railway information film without the briefest cameo from Paul Tyreman? I won’t have it.
If you are distracted, you'll be going nowhere.
Remove the key, and go to nowhere.

I love how this came up when I looked up "keep the guard on the train".

Haha being in the cab would be my holiday
No human contact
Just drive tren and be happy xD
same here!
Yh mate
There's that but it's also really tiring. The concentration is mentally tiring.
For me driving a HST (not a Pacer bc is bouncy as hell) is my holiday
As much as I enjoy being a train driver, I think I’d still prefer a beach or something… 😆

That shows a good driver if they can hold a conversation and still professionally drive a train
It's pretty safe with in cab signalling which can slow down the speed of the train on it's own without driver input
@@Cloudrak they don’t have in cab signalling on them trains
This is honestly hilarious well done
In the 10 years since I retired, not from the railways i must add, training videos have not got any better
If anything they look like they've gone backwards since the BR days!
I bet they loved making this!
"what is the first sign of distraction?"
when you start singing "club tropicana", and other 80's hits....
Who would pick rich tea as their favourite biscuit
Worse still, the biscuits were digestives.
whoa dubble yella
3:15 0 mph on speedo while moving. Looks like the engineer should br fired too.
No he shouldn't! The speedo is faulty.
Or the worker at Siemens

Drive in coastal paradise all the time on the S'nives branch.... Seriously, triggered commentary is good for others as well as drivers😀
How many drivers SPAD because they're a little too hydrated? A ridiculous, but amusing film.
Apparently it is common with Shed Drivers
Really good video, highlights some key areas of RTC
They need to get Ricky Gervais in there as a supervisor
The reason that class 456 derailed into that freight train 😂
LoL!

ohhhhhhhh _swr_ .... I was so confused because this seemed a weird video for German TV station SWR to make...
Ooh. Rich tea biscuits is my favourite.
SWR don't think about holidays 😉
Because you don't get any 😈
Very interesting!
Great video. Brilliant 😂
this video is so bad it’s good
2:20 LOL!
HAAHAH SO FUNNY NO
@James Loveday r/needlesslyrude
why did an electric kettle sound like a stovetop kettle?
fire the sound effects guy.
Well if you don't keep attention and have an accident you might not be going on holiday
I love this video so much 😂

Make it more interesting, by using a freight train and starting the shift at 0300hrs.
If the driver wanted to couldn't he lock the doors on the guard
Of course he'd get sanctioned if he did lol
If you hate your job that much that you fantasies about being away from it you should not be a train driver.
This was a good video hahahahahaa
