>>1599004>Actually paying attention to the signs and signals also helps. Driver of this train was clearly going over the speed limitThat's the point. If the driver does a stupid thing (because hes stupid, because malpractice or because he wants to kill himself) everybody dies and there is nobody who can prevent it because most railway safety systems are basically signs telling the driver what to do.

>>1598986 happened exactly because of this. The high speed line has ERTMS (which features ATS, ATC and ATP), however the old railway line dont.
So train exited the high speed line at 300 km/h at the correct speed limit then didn't braked to make the corner, and because "that place" doesn't has ATC it derailed.
pic related happened in france, during testing before inauguration, and safety systems were disabled. Engineers decided to bring their families to the cab and spent so much time chatting they forgot where to brake. It almost sounds like a joke, but those trains take 7 km to stop from 300 km/h.
