You can always tell who the ignorant dicks are, on discussions about
railway operations, because they call signals showing a danger aspect
"red lights", as if they are traffic lights. Do they think trains weigh
1 to 40 tons and have rubber tyres rolling on asphalt?

Oh I'm sorry , "danger aspect" then if you prefer your
euphamisms. Does that mean it isn't red and you're not
supposed to stop at it as per a road signal? Would explain the
SPADs I suppose wouldn't it. Also FYI , a tube train can
stop in a platform length or less at line speed. Thats about
300 feet or so. Ask a truck driver how far a 40 ton rig takes to
stop from 60 mph on a wet road during an emergency stop.

Incidentaly , why are you calling it a railway , shouldn't
that be saying "permanent way"?

A tube train cannot stop from line speed in the length of a platform,
I've tried it, about 2 cars through!

How idiotic.

I'm sure you use the exact technical term for everything, and never
use lay language.
