This thread is a great example of a lack of understanding. Every single thing in that list is essential knowledge for a driver, and it's plain to see the reason why. Happy to give examples of each, or, if you want context to their importance I can suggest a useful podcast.

So that's why route learning is so important. We need to know everything listed below, because they all affect how we drive our train. Quite a lot to it when you put it on a map (with just one significant risk highlighted here). x.com/lara_e_brown/s…

And just like that, I am down to just one line in Wales! Only Milford Haven remains! Treherbert ✅ 150258 sat at TRB awaiting 2F91 just now
Early starts usually mean work for me, but not today! Cardiff to Bletchley via BHM, with a return via most of the EMR network (it seems!), and all this for 150/1s Very glad to see /1s back on one of their staple routes, and in a new livery too!
Quick, RT to vote Alexis Lafreniere for All-Star before the bubble pops and football starts 1 RT = 1 #NHLAllStarVote
Here's why Artemi can't go to All-Star 🥹 - but he says "PLEASE RETWEET NOW TO VOTE FOR MY TEAMMATES ⤵️" #NHLAllStarvote Mika Zibanejad Chris Kreider Alexis Lafreniere Vincent Trocheck Jacob Trouba Adam Fox
@philatrail RDG releasing only part of the information. It's not a 13% rise with no strings art, it's an offer to buy terms and conditions which are worth far more than 13%. Why don't you say that?
Almost back into Cardiff after a quick trip up to Glasgow! I didn’t notice until editing, but can anyone see something wrong at Dalmuir?
A quick update: I’m back to dispatching! Just a slightly different, bigger station!
As of today, Class 231s are in service between Penarth and Rhymney! Seen here at Pontlottyn, 231007 had the honours of being the first FLIRT on Welsh rails in passenger service!
Station I dislike: Birmingham NS Station I think is overrated: Tamworth Station I think is Underrated: Perth Station I like: Inverness Station I love: Worcester Shrub Hill Station I feel most myself at: Cardiff Central Station I still need to visit: Fort William

Does this count as the first RHTT of the year? Running 96 late through Hereford, 37405 is seen next to the station’s signal box as it works a Coleham to Westbury run
