@@AyYi-tn1th - Train drivers are paid well - not for the physical act of pushing and pulling a PBC lever but for their vast route knowledge. People don't realize that in the UK, there are no milepost signs as they have in Germany for example. A typical Newcastle-based LNER driver knows the position of every signal, speed limit, junction, level crossing and bridge from Newcastle to King's X. They will also know the breaking points for every station they stop at. Oh and they obviously have to learn every route in *both* directions! That's 2x 245 miles of knowing every foot of that track by memory. Add to that that some drivers are signed on multiple routes. My colleagure is signed on 5 major routes; with both directions, that's a combined route knowledge of 1,280 miles! For your second question; drivers have to hold down a foot pedal called a DVD while driving. If they do not touch the controls for 60 seconds, an alarm will sound and they need to briefly take their foot off the DVD pedeal then put it back down. This is the driver vigilence device. If they do not reset it by lifting and returning their foot, then yes the emegency brakes will be applied.
@@TKCT2024yes and it also advises drivers of when and what the next speed limit is in miles. I believe it also shows what the next station is and uses GPS to tell the driver where the next station is. Don’t take my word for that because im not completely familiar with DAS. I’m more familiar with ATO and ETCS than systems like DAS and TVM
I’m pretty sure at high speeds that is a safety violation to not have your hands on the controls. Network Rail and British Rail safety, you must keep your hands on the controls at all times
@@ALEXJACKSONOFFICIAL202 Then you react quickly by putting your hand back on and braking. It’s not as fine margins as with a car so you can let go off it. If it’s a real emergency, you’d be whacking the plunger anyway
That’s the AWS button. Everytime you pass an AWS magnet which are active when the signal is not showing green (i.e. double yellow, yellow and red) and also on the approach to large reductions in speed or temporary speed restrictions, an audible warning is heard and the driver has approx 3 seconds to “cancel the AWS” by pressing the yellow button.
How train driver knows when to decreasing the speed, because there are many stations. I really wanna know how they could remember them or they have gps?
I once saw a documentary, and they said that the drivers know the routes like the back of their hands. It's like making a long-distance car journey a few times, and you remember the speed of the road, place names, and landmarks.
Love stuff like this - you don't usually see cab view footage that includes the actual cab!
Most companies would prefer the control area isn't shown for security reasons.
Yep
@@EdgyNumber1 yea because then they could steal a train

FIX THAT FREAKING WINDSCREEN WIPER FFS.
Wipers on trains in general are terrible, this is the normal unfortunately
They're all like that
Wow great video! How lucky to get to see it from the best seat in the house
Thats a class 801 lner!
It's an 802...
No, it's a class 802 Hull Trains. It says 802 305 next to the emergency button.
802 hull trains*
Line coming out of Hull towards Selby, Id recognise that anyday :)
I recognised it was Hull as soon as I saw Anlaby Rd Flyover...
The freakin wiper is the sound of a leg bein sawn off ffs
Nice 🔥
Windscreen blade needs replacing- it’s a mot fail ..
And it is a brand new train! Nasty things.

Whats class of train bud?
All these people moaning about the wipers, there better than some trains in the UK, and I've never had issues and I drive these almost every day.
is it true train drivers get paid a lot? and also, have you gotta keep pressing a putting every-so-often to stop the breaks from coming on?

That windscreen wiper is proper f*cked tho
Fuck the wiper off
Multi million pound train and they cant get a decent wiper system on them!!
Yup welcome to the IET fleet. Completely useless
Great vid. Acceleration in the 802 looks quite slow in diesel mode. These trains fly when in AC mode.
The screen on the right looks quite interesting, i wonder what kind of information it can give you
The obvious stuff lol 'Running late'
It’s called DAS, Driver Advisory System
The DAS (the screen on the right) shows info about the current speed set, the next station, the train consist and the date and time.
Yes, and also general and specific information about the train e.g traction/ brake status, saloon, faults list etc

Amazing how advanced trains have become - even giving advice on when to coast or apply power, as shown on that information screen.
It’s not bad but I wouldn’t trust it.
@@daveb0789 Its not a commercial aircraft, I get that. It's only a matter of time before this becomes more developed, available and mainstream.
@@EdgyNumber1 you’re right - trains can and do drive themselves but the current system display as it is today is limited.
It's not reliable, you can't beat an experienced driver, we have the same in the western region, I turn it off and use my experience to drive 👍
Nice Video! Horn at 06:21!!

Is this a LNER service or Hull Trains service?
Not liner cuz its a class 802

There is no rule about that whatsoever, I don’t even see why you need to have your hand on the control at all times (?)

how did you get to do this?
Connections. I know someone who knew people at LNER and they got him a cab ride
@@blob7282 Wait is that train a lner train ? On this video
@@JackT21 I'm not sure, it might be Hull trains, as it looks like Hull at the beginning of the video, though I might be wrong.

I think probably a Class 802 being used on a Hull to London service.
It's an javelin

Route learning plus probably driven it 100’s of times it just becomes second nature
The conductor calls the driver to tell him to slow down for the next station.
