    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.

    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...

    @MrMatavelhas 6 лет назад +19

    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

    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.

    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.

  • @jess.hawkins
    @jess.hawkins 6 лет назад +1

    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.

    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.

    • @akarouge
      @akarouge 6 лет назад

      markylon
      From my (train) knowledge:
      A headshunt is an another track beside the tracks at the platform, connected to the platform track to let the locomotive reverse back into the back of the train.
      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

  • @streaky81
    @streaky81 6 лет назад +3

    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 countries with LHT have a total population about 3 times that of the RHT countries. (I make it 5 billion vs just over 1.5 billiion. The remaining half-billion are in countires without railways or with single track only. )
      North America generally keeps right.
      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.
      Australia and NZ keep left.

    "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...

    • @pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042
      @pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 4 года назад +1

      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.

      No they aren't as you can see PSA's using the buttons by the doors and at the front of the train.

    I'm guessing they're sending trains down both and having them come out the same way?

      1 goes down the arrival tunnel as normal, 2nd down the departure tunnel, third and forth down the arrival tunnel. By the time train 3 arrives at Bank arrivals, train 1 is already in the switchback. Once train 2 departs bank train 1 moves into the departure platform allowing 3 into the switchback, clearing the arrival for 4 just behind it

    I remember when I was sent to a wrong way on Saviolovskoye railway for about 10-12km which was insane. We need to say that some passengers were sent to another platform. Fortunately, there were no Moscow-bound trains that time but I was scared.

    I thought the DLR had a moving block system

    • @benolifts
      @benolifts  6 лет назад +4

      Moving block has to be one of the most overused buzzwords of the moment. There are no systems with moving block in the UK, and hardly any in the world. 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.

      Beno but... It does... In essence it has a moving block system, it axle counts

    • @dominicfindlay
      @dominicfindlay 6 лет назад

      It is moving block but the block around the train changes at different parts of the track. in the bank tunnel the gap the trains keep apart is bigger. so they like to wait out side the tunnel ,this where the gap gets bigger.
      It stops in the same place as this must be assigned a safe place to wait, like just outside the tunnel and near the emergency doors in the bank tunnel

    • @dominicfindlay
      @dominicfindlay 6 лет назад

      markylon there's no points (just where the new concrete is) outside the tunnel on the ramp but the trains would have to wait when leaving the tunnel if a train from tower gateway just passed. That's happened when I was on it once . I was talking about the train going in to the tunnel.

    • @dominicfindlay
      @dominicfindlay 6 лет назад

      markylon
      just after the train starts to go down the ramp. It tends to stop there usually if it's the third one after a tower gateway as the trains before it have bigger "blocks" around them while in the tunnel.

    this happens all the time on the Tyne and Wear metro in the northeast of England metros going in the wrong direction into stations its because all the money is invested in london the metro trains are old and so is the signals etc but yet everything goes sort of smooth technically london could be its own country
