G'day BW,
I have the Czech Railway signalling system details on me computer somewhere.
But, am unable to find such.
Plus, such woulda been probably before any full implementation of ERTMS (?).
Indeed, has ERTMS or equivalent been implemented on the Czech Railway ?
DOO works ok providing that all concerned are fit for duty and obey all of the rules.
Fatigue would be a drama when people continue with their non work life style.
Distraction can also be a problem, as that only takes a few moments to affect the situation.
I remember back to the good ole days of "round trips" and coming out on availability (11 hours off at home).
Performing in excess of 11 consecutive shifts per fortnite.
GOOD moolah, but I do shiver when remembering how things were back then.
No wonder that most smoked like a Baldwin.
Alas, now under privatization, crew shifts are again encroaching extremes due to lack of staff.
As the plague rampages around smog hollow, though the entire NSW state is now Locked Down,
smog hollow train and bus services are being further impacted with over a third of staff being now in quarantine.
Plus, rail and ballast work trains out here in the regions are being cancelled due to hairylegs not being able to travel around the state.
Won't be any train prangs with no trains running, I guess.
Steve.
