Stop moving the camera, put it on a tripod and leave it alone

@sabersz5 ай бұрын

Well, hold it steady and don't pan it They get a bit iffy if you use a tripod at stations due to it being classed as professional filming, found that out firsthand when I was filming at Stratford Intl a couple weeks ago

@Brandonwillson37 ай бұрын

I've just been told my the station supervisor about this incident. The driver did not phone the signaller after he went through the signal you have to treat the signal as a red if you have gone through it with out TWPS. the driver has been taken off trains and he could be fired. Im telling the full truth that I have been told by the staff at dover priory. Someone saw this video and report it to management at Dover and with southeastern.

The UK absolutely does not have the highest average train speeds in Europe, that would be Spain, followed by Italy and then France.

Cool, but not a SPAD (at least not the kind that is a contravention of the rulebook) -It sounded like he had authority to pass it at danger from the signaller. I guess he forgot to overridde the AWS or TPWS, cool to see the emergency brake application!
