Seltrac as used on the DLR is a 'moving block' system. The blocks not just small, they are effectively infinitely small. The wire in the track changes side every 25m which provides the first level of localisation and then an axle counter is used to position with in that 25m. The system keeps the trains 'safe braking distance' apart. As the trains slow or speed up, this distance changes as appropriate. The main problem I've noticed riding this and other automatic systems is that the auto-drivers don't anticipate which can lead to trains that alternately power and brake instead of just slowing down a bit. The auto driver sees suitable distance ahead clear and speeds up, then closes the gap and brakes, the gap widens, so it powers again, etc.

So feedbacking. Speeds up too much, then has to slow back down again.

The train assistants always hold there hands over the emergency stop button when pulling into stations, especially during busy times. Just in case a passenger ends up on the track.

Nobody is going to somehow fall out of the train or come off a platform in the tunnel.

The stop just before the station is probably a consequence that the platform itself is a single block to avoid that a train stays partially stopped inside. So, as the previous train departs the station, the other train will pull to the edge of the platform as it would do outside a station but it will only pull to the platform once the whole platform plus safety distance after the platform is clear

The controllers generally know what they are doing and this is probably well thought through. I've been a train driver for ten years and these solutions often seem odd but can be very effective for the greater whole. Getting one train off the main line may vacate it for another train at Tower Gateway, thus unlocking the platform for another one and so on...

I would have thought that sending a train down the outbound tunnel would have caused more disruption than running as normal (there could be no train waiting in the Bank outbound platform and tunnel when your train went in). The current DLR trains can serve all stations (in the old signaling system there were trains which could not serve Bank as they were not allowed in tunnels)

A similar thing happened with me once before - we'd just departed Shadwell and began our descent into Bank, but just before we got to the tunnel, we came to an emergency stop, because the train in front of us had stalled, so we were sent back up the hill, diverted onto the Eastbound track and pulled back into Shadwell.

Once I was on a train into Woolwich Arsenal and in the tunnel we came to a stop. They said someone turned off the power or something weird like that.

I love the Docklands Light Railway. I’ve been on them so many times even when I was a kid and apparently I was born just after when the DLR first opened. Which is a bonus. 😆

Thanks for this, very interesting and the subtitled comments were very helpful. You have Inspired plenty of discussion too.

what caused the long queue? Did one train have a power problem? (and cause the rest to back up behind)

Because the trains where stacking up they pick one to terminate at an earlier station, then it goes back on that line to fill the gap caused by the delayed return trains. It happens more often than you think.

The northern line was running on the wrong side a couple of weekends ago through Bank to Morgate and possibly further. I don't know why they did it, although it was being upgraded on part of the line then.

@mpellatt

London Bridge to Moorgate is "wrong side" for normal running. An artefact of the extenstion of the CSLR. So nothing to see here, move along....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the DLR doesn't use very short signal blocks, but rather uses moving block signalling hence the immediate movement of the other train. I think blocks are used at junctions but each block is very long, and allows more than one train in a block at a time given enough space for the moving blocks which surround each train.

This is why they don't want you filming on the DLR!

Greetings from Singapore! Cool Light Rail Train There...and the scene in the tunnel made me sit on the edge of my chair

This happens fairly often when there is disruption. I've been on trains that have departed from the arrival platform at bank as well.

Excellent if a train is full wait 30 second for the next one

I have only seen my train system going the wrong way to the end of line to switch directions to be on the right track, but on some stations 2 platforms at a terminating station where they have to switch to the right track once they depart in the other direction

In Rotterdam this is quite normal when the other way/rail is blocked by an broken train or something

I remember when the unit I was on lost traction current and seltrack data just before exiting Bank - Shadwell tunnel.

Trains go the "wrong way" into Bank if they are running late, and there are no trains coming "up the hill". It can make up about 2 and a half minutes of delay by not having to travel via the arrival platform and turnback siding.

The motor sound on the B07 stock changed?

I have done this a few times when the first train is running late and it does this to catch up some time. It can do this if there is no trainat Bank.

Benobve can you please make a its lift tour time at Meadowhall shopping centre it has some amazing circular Schindler lift

Were there signalling problems which meant only one of the Bank Lines could be used, hence the Q of trains

This happens literally all the time, the system is designed to work this way. Stops having to move again and go round the turnaround loop plus it can stack two trains offloading passengers and also reorder trains if there's a train that comes in later but needs to leave first in scheduling. That's the thing about automation, it knows where all the other trains are at all times, knows future train movements and can predict gaps ahead of time to improve efficiency and is no risk whatsoever. Also the PSA is most definitely *not* there to press the emergency stop - even if he needed to which he absolutely doesn't there's no situation where trains can come to blows unless some moron who isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is screws with it - only time there's ever been an accident on the DLR is when one of these guys wanted to play train driver, they're definitely not.

The need for hovering over the emergency stop button is in case a passenger falls on the track, not because two trains could collide

Seen this a few times - obvious rationale is to gain back a few minutes and restore the regular service interval. Breaks the gordian knot by bypassing the backlog.

Must be really creepy to sit on a train going the wrong way. You just know that someone in signalling screwed up and any minute now you'll crash head on with another train.

Much of Europe keeps right. However the UK and Ireland, France and Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and Slovenia, Portugal and Sweden, keep left. South America and Africa generally keep left. Most of Asia keeps left (including China and Taiwan, Japan, Korea, most of South East Asia, all of South Asia). Indonesia, the Philippines, ex-Soviet Central Asia and much of West Asia keep right.

"Very short Signal blocks" they say... the train was the whole way out of the station before the next one even started moving. The old fixed block signalling system on the city stations in sydney could let multiple trains into the station at once...

Not any longer sadly. The system was designed back in the 1930s and was only ever properly tested in the 50s (as it wasn't needed during normal operation). During the test they ran 36 trains through the city in one hour. When the last car of the first train would be leaving the platform, the first car of the next train would be arriving into the other end of the platform. The system was actually designed to handle 42 trains an hour but could only do so if everything went well. Sydney still has multiple trains in each platform for coupling and such, but the 1930s signalling system was replaced in 1990 with a new system which can still apparently handle 36 trains an hour it just doesn't let multiple trains into the same platform anymore.

A reverse siding is a reversing track mostly in the middle of the parellel terminal tracks or as a single track after the stations for long push-pull and MUs to change direction. Crossovers are also viable to change direction

Such a system is completely reliant on software and can not have physical fail safes. It practise moving block is just a gimmick just to make news headlines of dumbed down news papers. Most systems that claim moving block just have very small signal sections. The victoria line has 4 sections for the length of one platform.
