What happens if you absolutely have no clue?

Was it staged?

It definitely was - at one point we get to see that the scenario is a free roam starting at Didcot. We join the train at Paddington, at the other end of the line. The player has therefore had to get to Paddington in the first place (and therefore isn't as unknowledgeable as is portrayed)

Before I watched it I couldn't imagine how it could possibly be funny... but it was hilarious

"I've just essentially rammed my own train up my ..." ... Who hasn't made that mistake?

There are more than 5 people in London!

Nah, he wasn't bashing the game. Just having a little fun and getting used to controls, as we have all gone thru. Quite funny actually!

This is a classic reminder to RTFM! Read the fracking manual!

I watched this after a lengthy (and somewhat depressing) news cycle at the radio station where I work. Brightened my day considerably and I also was tearing up from trying not to laugh out loud. I had much the same experiences when making my move from MSTS to RW3, even though I had a good idea of the relation of the reverser, the throttle and the brake.

And if he didn't stage it, then he made some pretty darn good free associations to figure out how things work.

Except the "bings", of course. :)

I may have to try always using the emergency brake to make those "oh crap I'm gonna miss the station!" moments. Though not in career scenarios, obviously!

Much fun, much fun indeed.
