A couple of Items that I carry are an adjustable spanner and a leatherman tool. They have a can opener, knife, screwdriver, and pliers. One personal item is a can of stew, spaghetti…. If caught out on the road, then something warm to eat will make it more bearable. Sometimes that can stays in my bag for months, but it’s there for an emergency. In North America the company supplies crew packs. They have alcohol wipes, TP, and paper towels. They also have a plastic rubbish bag. Some also have bandages, lens cleaner, and ear plugs. I have to add spare brake hose gaskets. Sometimes the gaskets get old and leak air. If this happens, then they can be replaced. One last item is zip ties. They can be handy for many things. I try to keep a few large ones with me.

A lot of the things in the backpack are the same here, except things like communication radio and some of the PPE-stuff, those are kept in the office where we start and ends. Personally in my own bag I also keep a bottle of water, some coffee (and a mug to drink it…) and a couple of candles to keep warm in case of loss of power or engine failure. Here in Sweden it’s also mandatory to have the European traindriver-license and instructions for dangerous goods (RID). Keep safe on the tracks! //Mattias, traindriver at Green Cargo in Sweden

I carried one of those old fashioned black leather bags. BR supplied everything bar underpants as way of uniforms and we had to carry, three big red timetables (to cover our area), traffic notices won, pon, service books for relevant traction units, 26 sections of the rule book, bardic lamp and security cage key, epb key, cab door entry br1 key, t-bar key (for locking and securing doors, toilets) i was a D.O.O.driver for many years, barely left room for sunglasses, sandwiches, water/tea flask. But somehow we managed to squash it all in. I also always carried a huntsman swiss army knife.

Re the Mk 2,,, they were re-gauged, of course, have excellent lighting, lots of Tables!. power points for every seat, been beautifully reupholstered ( not true moquette, Vicky/Geoff) and are quite comfortable to travel in, over the whole 100 km of that line. The WRL is single tracked once past Upper Hutt station, further 65 km , and sharing with at least 3 x 20+ wagon logging trains each work day ).

I presume personal cell phones are not allowed in the cab? I understand they were banned here in the U.S. around 2010 in response to several accidents where crew were on their personal phones. I believe you can only carry one if it is completely powered off. I read that there was an accident in Liverpool last February where a passenger train entered a station three times the correct speed, hitting the buffers and derailing. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. The driver was shown to have sent a WhatsApp message just before it happened. So is there an overall rule on personal phone use or does it depend on the company? Thanks!
@DadRail

Can’t be used in the cab whilst on the move. Most companies will mandate it should be in your bag and switched off. Some companies allow phones to be used when the train is stopped for a prolonged period. During some situations the signaller will ask for a phone number to contact you I.e when taking a line block.

@DadRail

I think full automation is still many years away on the mainline at least. The technology does exist for automatic operation, but it is one thing getting it to work on a simple network with only 1 type of train, compared to the mainline with many different types of trains with different handling capabilities. It can be done and is being tested in the uk as we speak, but I think full automation is still many years away. We will see partial automation (Thameslink core) and more semi automatic trains in the next 10 years or so. I think regardless of what happens, on the mainline with stations miles apart you will always need someone on the train, in case of failure train evacuation tree on the line ect. The drivers role will continue evolve as it has done since trains were invented.

If you were glasses you have to carry a spare pair with you at all times. The Safety glasses are only required when working on certain sites where mandated as PPE.
