    I dont blame you and dont Worry i have a car now and i think most know its politics, companys and "vakbonden" that causes delay

    No, technical problems on trains because of a lack of investment, brain damaged people walking on tracks, leaves on tracks and technical problems of instrastructure because of a lack of investment cause delays.

    Here's a screenshot from an app we have that notifices us the major problems on the network. It's in dutch.

    Just for the last two hours:

    Can you do stuff like this train driver? :P 

    Owh this guy is amazing hahaha

    Though I never have to speak into the microphone, taking care of passengers is not my job, and tbh we as drivers hardly give a damn about what's going on behind us. Our main priority is security, and that's it :)

    wow thats soooo cool, I love trains and always wanted to see locomotive and see what driver sees :D it must be great job in motion all the time :D 

    It is but the shifts are killing me. This week I started my duty at 5.00, 4.10, 3.40, 5.00, got a day off on friday, today 10.00 and tomorrow 14.00.

    This is our newest engine. Up to 200km/h, 6000kW.. pretty badass but too much technology :)

    During summer, following an other train.. not driving very fast as the collegue had past onward a red signal  :P (yes, for some on them we can without authorization)

    Earlier this week <3 Though the heating was broken, freezing cold in the cabin :rolleyes:

    What we encounter every day.. red signals, our major preoccupation.

    Same engine as on the first picture. Screens, screens everywhere.

    And THAT ladies and gentlemen is the best of the best. I'm mean it's not, it's old (1966 !!!), cold, skids like crazy, has shit brakes, but man, they make my days :)

     

     

    The pictures taken during a ride were obviously not taken by me :)

  3. My name is William, I'm 25 yo, I live in Brussels, Belgium, and I'm a train driver for the belgian company (pls no insults). I sometimes drive >750t trains up to 160km/h (and even 200) with ~1250 passengers but most of the time I drive shitty half empty omnibus trains. They stink and give me soul cancer. Thank god I receive my adrenaline from a few peak trains..

     

    Other than that, I sometimes try to go for a run or to meet up with a friend to play some badminton.

    Oh and I have a gf, though we do not live together yet. Hence me spending a lot of my free time at her place when I'm not sitting on my driver's seat and thus not playing ET on a regular basis.

     

    My gf is the greatest in the world.

    A solution would be not to use legacy, totally stopped working for me after the 2.75 update and you can't even play etpro anyway :thumbdown:

    Oh crap, didnt know that ! Well then I guess this not even worth seeking a solution..

  5. Hi there,

     

    Since my computer is getting old and slow, a friend of mine installed Linux on it and I have to admit that he was right when he promissed a "faster" computer.

    Problem is, I can't get ETLegacy to run on it, it just doens't start the installation so I'm back playing on my W10 partition.

    Since I am a massive newbie, could anyone help me ? :sorry:

     

    Thank youuu

  6. So with my trip to Scotland starting on the 29/07 and ending on the 08/08, me working on the 12 and the 13th of August and having plans near Liege on the next weekend, that leaves me with the 26th or the 27th.

    Hope I can attend though, really looking forward to hang out around the Halve Maan brouwerij :P

     

    Edit: als ik me niet vergis, dus ben ik de enige franstalige ? :ermm:

  7. Aren't you the guy who used to play it badass style on NBS a while ago, 2rkish ? If so.. Yeah well I hope you've changed and that this is ancient history :)

     

    That kind of behaviour you just reported is unacceptable though, I'm sure it won't take long before someone notices and takes actions.
