just automate the train, most other countries have

in the UK we have stop markers the driver's meant to look out for, not the guard

Yeah so why can’t it be automated it’s 2026

So many other solutions

Meanwhile in the country that invented the underground railways. Most of the network is automatic and for the driver operation lines there's a stopping marker for the drivers.

Y’all still driving trains manually? We had this automatic train thing figured out in the eighties guys, get with the times.

Our automated driverless Metros in Copenhagen stop in alignment with doors to the platform. This is a thoroughly fixable problem.

If only we had software in the world 🤔

In London trains can only open the doors when aligned with the platform or won’t open or the first / last set of doors will not open

Hello :
In the uk we have things called technology

“Can’t point at something without actually seeing it” are you sure about that?

It seems like this could be solved with a trivial bit of technology... I can think of multiple methods that all could have been produced even 50 years ago.

German slurry trucker here, i load my truck about 20 to sometimes even 40 times a day and whenever i realize i'm getting unfocused i use the pointing technique so i dont forget to close a valve or even forget to remove the hose bevore i drive off. This has already saved me from a lot of cleaning. Also everytime i train a new driver i tell them about this technique which is truly helpful for them, as it allows them to make far fewer mistakes.

meanwhile in Greece we have magnetic sensors under the trains which automatically stop at the correct point 😁

I work here in Japan and i do checks just like this. Pointing does help with confirming

In Brazil our self-driven trains will always stop at the same spot.

We use this technique in the UK. We call it risk triggered commentary. Trains We drive can vary in length and platform sides changing. RTC verbalise a task and as you said it focuses the brain into making a decision.

You can very much point at something without looking

This is more a sign that they need to update their trains. The 1973 stock on the Piccadilly line in London only varies by a few centimetres over thousands of stops. And most of our infrastructure is more modern and capable than that.

why not just put lines like this
