2018, Graeme Wall remarked: Apparently they haven't got a train to test the signalling with! Hence the delay: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45496269 That's the kind of issue which has no excuse, because the need for the testing has been apparent since the start of the project. There are all kinds of hiccups which might happen to a project like this (many of which one might have sympathy with), but not getting delivery of a testing train is an elephant in the room. -- Roland Perry |

Is it a train with a laptop plugged in? Because they have trains and they have laptops, so is it software they are waiting for? -- Basil Jet - listening... Richard Ashcroft. Richard H. Kirk.

Hence the delay: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45496269 There were two 345s parked in the Paddington reversing sidings one weekend a few weeks ago, they appear to be on lines only accessible from the tunnel. Just over an hour later, one had gone. Meanwhile OOC depot is literally full of 345s; do none of them really have the signalling kit needed fitted to them? Anna Noyd-Dryver |

The reports suggest that not a single 345 is yet available with full signalling capabilities. |

Nostalgia When I used to play with full sized trains, the only signalling response equipment was a sensor underneath for the magnet that controlled the brakes, and that could be overridden by the driver easily enough. Some of the really new one had a pedal the driver had to take his foot off when a horn sounded in the cab, or it applied the brakes. Nowadays, they even seem to use GPS to tell the drivers they're in the right place to open the doors, with no need for the "4", "6"h and "8"signs. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
