UK Signalling: Signal identification plates, midland pronunciation & pointless points (TSW tutorial)
In this week's video we take a closer look at UK signal identification plates and what information we can get from them, while running some trains in England.
Free roam experiments at East Midland Parkway and on the Brighton Main Line and a partial passenger run from Derby to Nottingham on the BR Class 158 Sprinter DMU (sporting the 'Ghost Guard') on DTG's Midland Mainline DLC for Train Sim World 4, featuring a short tutorial about the signal identification plates used on Network Rail signals (10:40).
In the end we discuss the pronunciation of Dah-by, Nottin-gum and Luff-bruh, OMSL-X level crossings and the point in pointless points (with me SPADing out at Nottingham home signal in the process).
