Who cares? This is a fucking train! DO NOT use a touchscreen!! Have we not learned anything from modern cars??
- KineticLensman 2y agoThey care because if steam trains can’t adopt the signalling technology required by the modern UK railways they won’t be allowed to run at all.
- smallerize 2y agoThat doesn't address the question at all. Put some physical buttons on it.
- KineticLensman 2y ago> Put some physical buttons on it. Which means developing and integrating new systems to support a tiny number of steam trains. I hate touchscreens myself in vehicles. I hate them. But I'm just commenting on the fact that if the trains can't adopt a technology that already exists, they may have to suspend services.
- blueflow 2y agoI've driven under ETCS in a simulator before and i was surprised you need to interact with the screen at all during operation. ETCS doesn't have "attention" buttons you have to press like with the german PZB.
