      "Having been in the cab in the dark in fog at very high speed the nerves of steel are still required"

       

      Funny though that you don't think of it that way, it's just part of what you do. (Canterbury West branch, 1990s, no AWS, semaphore signals...)

      Running fast (e.g 125 mph) in thick fog struck me as the ultimate test test of road knowledge the only time I experienced riding in a driving cab.  Very different even from running at 90mph which never bothered me one bit.  None of that solves, nor ever will, what happened at Harrow that disastrous morning although for once lessons really were learnt.

      Did 125 MPH ever happen on semaphore signals?

       

      AWS is priceless.
