Good to know that red signals are actually just a very severe speed limit rather than a sign to stop.
flies past glynde, actually stops, puts it in reverse and manages to go past it again. ahhh marvelous, that's why the colonel is the best at tsw
"It's going to be close"! *blows past the station at 90mph*
How much more easily the game would have been if he learnt the keyboard controls for forward and back... xD
the throttle is so hard to use, the train always shoves it all the way up or down to emergency break, thats why i use A and D

As a man from the railway and use these units everyday, it pained me to watch you monumentally bugger up every operational requirement you needed to do 😂 you didn't turn on the AWS, DRA, DVD etc. You didn't turn your lights on. And you didn't close the cab door behind you. I'm so upset 😭

I have noticed a few comments saying that it would be easier if the Colonel used a keyboard, it may well be easier, but, we don't come here for easier, we come here for 'Fun and Failure' which is what we get in abundance. Long may it continue. Carry On.
So it turns out you're the legendary kid who only did the first page of the examination, because it didn't have a printed instruction to turn the page.
30:57 'No no no. It's not an aeroplane!' Made my week!
I so wanted that "8" in the cab to be a button that says "eight" when pressed.
Well at least it's not a bunch of Pacers lashed together with zip ties and electrical tape so it's not all doom and gloom, the passengers are spared the diabolical "seating" of those accursed things that stubbornly refuse to cease operating.
“Next Stop Polegate. Passengers for polegate should be travelling in the first 5 Coaches only. You can thank your silly driver for this”
What's the bet that RMT are going to use this very video for their "and that's why we can't have driver-only operation" argument next time they feel like going on a strike?
In before the "What button to make the conductor announcements?" post.

This brings back memories of relying on Southern Snail. I once waited an hour and a half for a late train. It got to the next station and then turned around. Skipping about 10 stations. I worked from home that day.
"Frodo clutching his magic ring" Well thanks, ruined my keyboard when i spat my coffee all over it.
Things I love... DTG Releasing a new route... Things I think about "OMG Colonel will do a new video soon"... Thing I love MOST: Watching Colonels new video including many hilarious gags!
YES!!!! 2020 is off to a classic start with a return to TSW!!!! :D
Danish intercity trains got a really cool solution where the front door is the control panel. If you open the door, you lock away the control panel.
Hilarious! It reminds me of being at work teaching trainees in the simulators. It's more fun to watch when you're not teaching someone though.

Pretty confident that Northern Fail makes Southern Rail look efficient.... with or without the Colonel at the helm
After the episode you must have been having nightmares about emergency brakes. No, no, emergency. Lol
I always thought Hampden Park was in Scotland, a bit outside Southern Rails jurisdiction. But I suppose it's like every other location in the UK/Common Wealth/North America, so good they named it twice... Excellent video and commentary btw
Get the bulldozer out on those pesky red signals. Get in the old class 31 to give us even more pleasure.
One of the best you've ever done. Brilliant 😂

Can you do a purely passenger episode?
That door with the consoles attached to it is meant to stay open when the cab is in use. That's why it kept opening when you sat down.
If you keep insisting on going straight for B3, instead of applying a smaller level of breaking power, there wouldn't be a risk of an Emergency Stop. (Also, A to increase throttle/decrease brakes, D to decrease throttle/increase brake. No more magnets.)
Really enjoy our videos, and I ... live there, I live in Eastbourne
Being from the US, I have to ask...is the distain that UK citizens seem to have for the former Southern Railway system in the "grouping" era connected to its rather geriatric collection of elderly steam locos in the classic era as opposed to the other 3 companies with their flying scots, castles and other more modern locomotives?

The modern disdain for Southern has NOTHING to do with anything before the franchise went to them. It has everything to do with their poor performance, customer service and infamous strikes. Then again, Northern just had their franchise cancelled, and South Western Railway are at rock bottom in customers eyes currently. Historic locomotives and regions are irrelevant.
Enters station...(immediately applies emergency brake)

are you sure this is southern railways I could have swore I saw empty seats normally you have to arm wrestle the pregnant woman for the seat and just stand there looking at the people who have seats and wonder how on earth they managed it and who you must kill/bribe to get one? It is nice to know that northern rail can call on CF to demonstrate his keeping to time table expertise and pass on his professional train driving skills to any who wish to advance their abilities[ to the next rail franchise to take over]

Hello! Please tell me if there are free dlc for this game?
Try driving with the keyboard, it’s easier. I think you were able to pass the signal because you used “reload last checkpoint” things like that cause a glitch where you can pass red signals without issue.

Flight sims, Farm sims, Car and lorry sims all interface with external hardware but train sims don't. Moving analogue levers with keyboard keys takes away a lot of the reality for me. I have over 1079 hrs in TSW but it still infuriates me.

There are 3rd party programs (open source I think) that allow remapping joystick axes and buttons to keyboard commands, although they may be hit and miss. I know some have used flight controls with recent Train Simulator versions. I always envisioned using the 3-way quadrant installed sideways to operate throttle, train brake and engine brake. I couldn't find a saved bookmark, so you'll need to google it if interested...
