Thanks to UKTrainMan who posted one of them here and suggested there were more, this led me to Darren Cafferty's Instructional and Training Films for Drivers and Train Crews. They include: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaj_KZ4zLJg[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjN1CjyeNGw[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JlHdBkVS4k[/video] and also [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xje3coP9-IM[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8UDodqm1jc[/video] Although produced for drivers, they include considerable driver-signaller interaction. There are several other train- but non-signalling-related videos on his channel. Although, as a matter of policy, SPADs and accidents have been deliberately excluded from SimSig, one can still learn a lot from watching these videos. Darren's area of interest is "All things Railway related in the old Eastern Division of British Rail Southern Region". Last edited: 28/05/2013 at 05:32 by maxand Log in to reply |

Without trying to turn this into an advertising thread, for anyone interested in these type of videos, please may I recommend the channel ElectrostarGeorge ? He has a few the same as Darren Cafferty but also a many more including most of the old BR videos (He has a lot of spotting vids too!).

Thanks for the link. Yes, the SPAD videos are available there too, in case Darren Cafferty's channel goes down. However, there did not seem to be as many instructional videos of value to would-be signallers as I had hoped. There is, however, a list of "My friends (sic) channels" on the RH side which may be worth checking out. One more SPAD video, this one by Connex (1989): [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z22LfEbCHc[/video] Last edited: 28/05/2013 at 14:25 by maxand Log in to reply |

I agree with you about the low number of instructional signalling videos as the reason I posted it was for the driver training videos in general as I'm sure some users will find those interesting  Sorry for the confusion Log in to reply |

These have been ripped from a site called railnetchannel (www.railnetchannel.tv) which has some obscure relationship with the company which produced them, Spa Films (http://spa-films.co.uk/).

" said:These have been ripped from a site called railnetchannel (www.railnetchannel.tv) which has some obscure relationship with the company which produced them, Spa Films (http://spa-films.co.uk/).Oh right thanks for the info I always wondered where they got them from and I'm not surprised about their relationship!

Thanks for the heads-up, Ron_J. Darren Cafferty's explanation (see the Discussion tab on his YouTube channel) is Quote: I've raided the Office and got some new films which will be here Very SoonLOL. (Added) I searched for "spad" on railnetchannel without finding anything. Where are these videos? Last edited: 29/05/2013 at 09:42 by maxand Log in to reply |

Having just had a look for them myself, it seems they've been removed. This must be a fairly recent thing since they were still on there at the start of the year. Regardless, they've were on the railnetchannel site (under the 'Operations and Traction Training' and 'Safety' categories) for a few years - certainly before they were added to Youtube. I first came across the site because a video starring two of my colleagues was on there.
