Default Dangers of High Speed Trains Pushed from the Rear

Ah! See, you're talking to a passenger train driver here! I don't know
of all these tricks of the trade. On a Eurostar if you make a brake
application of more than just a bit, then the power gets cut off. If the
brake is slightly on, you cannot take power either. That can cause much
consternation when the driver hasn't realised the brake is on slightly.

The wonderful traction interlock... Just make sure you don't get problems
with it on MY little railway, Nev- you b****** are bad enough when the
snow gets in the motors. What turns are you on at the moment ?


That's your fault, you keep the Tunnel too warm! ;-)
I'm on the Disney on Monday, 9074 I think, 09.39 out of WIT.
First one back into the UK on Tuesday, about 07.00 on your bit.
That's what's scheduled anyway.
Good luck to you and your colleagues, I know it's a bit miserable there
with the cuts and that. :-(

I'll listen out on the track-to-train for you..(early call both days, but
cover-only on the Monday)
