 What is Driving? Driver Operations Guide

The Driver is responsible for safely transporting passengers across the entire SCR network. Once a train arrives at its
scheduled stop, it opens its doors for boarding, loads passengers, closes doors, and departs the station to continue
to its next stop. These steps may vary slightly depending on whether a Guard and/or Dispatcher is involved.

To begin training for your next rank (Qualified Driver), you must meet the following criteria:
1. You are a Trainee Driver in the SCR Roblox Community
2. You have at least 120 experience in-game

Qualified Driver Training

To obtain the Qualified Driver rank, a Trainee Driver (obtained by joining the SCR Roblox Community) must earn 120
experience, pass the theory quiz, and then pass the practical Qualified Driver training.
 Spawning as a Driver Driver Operations Guide

From the role selection menu, select the Driver

role. After entering the Driver team, choose a train
operator at the top. Based on the operator you
select, you will see different trains and routes to
choose from.

After selecting your preferred train and route, click

'Drive'. You will then be able to choose your
spawning depot with an arrow showing which
direction you will be driving. Click on a depot, and
your train will spawn there.

 Approaching a Station & Car Stop Markers Driver Operations Guide

When approaching a scheduled stop, slow your train down to a speed between 20 mph and 35 mph. Make sure to
align the front of your train with the car marker that matches the number of cars your train has.
While loading your passengers at a station, if the signal ahead is red, keep the doors open and do not close them
until the signal changes to green, double yellow, or yellow.
Markers come in many colours, each serving a different operator or train type. Black markers (sometimes dark blue)
are universal and not tied to any specific operator or train. Certain trains, like the Express Class 80x or the Connect
Class 158, may have their own car markers. These markers should only be used for the train that is specified on the
car marker. Any other trains should use the standard car markers.
When you arrive at a terminus, aim to stop close to the buffer or at the designated car marker if there is one located
there.
The following page contains images of many Car Stop Markers you will find throughout Stepford.

 Signal Aspects Driver Operations Guide

To prevent train collisions or accidentally passing a signal at danger,

SPAD’ing, you need to understand what each signal means and what
you should do when you see them.
Green: The next signal block is clear, pass at the speed limit. The next
signal may be green or double yellow.
Double Yellow: The next signal block is clear, pass at the speed limit.
Be ready to slow down after passing it, the next signal may be yellow.
Proceed Preliminary Caution
Yellow: The next signal block is clear, slow down to 45 mph until the
Caution
next green signal, unless the speed limit is below 45 mph. The next
signal may be red, yellow or green.
Red: The next signal block is blocked by another train or is being
controlled by a signaller (shown by a blue dot on the signal). Stop in
front of the signal and wait until the signal is yellow or green before Proceed Danger
you continue. Shunt Signal Shunt Signal

Shunt Signals: They can be found on the ground at depots and

sidings. White means that you can continue at the speed limit, and
red means the next signal block is blocked. Danger
 Semaphore Signals Driver Operations Guide

Semaphore signals are an older type of signal that shows if the next
signal block is safe for you to enter. With these signals, the position
of the arms tells you the aspect of the signal, and the coloured light
helps to see the aspect of the signal at night.
Green: When both arms are pointing up, it indicates the next signal
block is clear and you can proceed at the speed limit. Additionally, a
single red arm pointing up also means it is a green signal.
Proceed Caution
Yellow: If the red arm is pointing up and the yellow arm is (Green) (Yellow)
horizontal, it means that the next signal block is clear, but you
should reduce your speed to 45 mph until the next green aspect.
The next signal may be red, yellow, or green.
Red: When both arms are horizontal, it means the next signal block
is blocked by another train. You should come to a stop in front of the
signal and wait until it changes to yellow or green to continue. A
single horizontal red arm also indicates a red signal.

 Tram Signals Driver Operations Guide

Tram signals are a type of signal exclusively used on tram lines.

These can be paired with normal road signals (for cars), however
you should be following the tram ones.
Proceed
Proceed: Indicated by a white vertical line, it means the next
signal block is clear and you may proceed at line speed.
Danger: Indicated by a white horizontal line, it means the next
signal block is occupied and you must stop in front of it until a
proceed aspect is shown.

Danger

Route Indicator: This indicator will always be on top of the signal

and show you which direction your train will be routed.

 Banner Repeaters & Route Indicators Driver Operations Guide

Banner Repeaters: A type of signal that indicates whether you can

pass the next signal or if you need to prepare to stop. A diagonal
black line means that the next signal is green, double yellow, or
yellow. A horizontal black line means that the next signal is red and
that you need to prepare to stop. Banner repeater Banner repeater
Banner repeaters are most commonly found at stations but can also (Proceed) (Danger)
be found in places where visibility of the next signal is limited.

Route Indicators: They will show you where your train is going next.
A number tells you which platform you will arrive on at the next
station, and a letter tells you which line of the track you will be
routed on, like at Llyn-by-the-Sea or between Leighton Stepford

Road and Leighton City. (Indicating Platform 2) (Indicating Line B)
 Feather Indicator Driver Operations Guide

When approaching a junction, you may come across the feather

indicator. This indicator will always be on top of normal signals
and show you which direction your train will be routed. The
feather indicator can be found at junctions or at a diverging
point where trains can switch tracks or branch off to another
line.
A lit feather indicator will indicate whether your train will be
routed left or right, depending on its direction. If the lights are
off, your train will continue to go straight.
Knowing which direction your train will be routed can help you
understand any upcoming directional speed limit indicators
better, so you know whether you should react to them or not.

will be routed left) will be routed right)
 Temporary Speed Restrictions Driver Operations Guide

Temporary Speed Restrictions (TSR) are short sections of track

where the speed has been significantly reduced due to a
disruption event.
An event will show up in #All chat, detailing where the event is,
and how long it will last.

 Signal Blocks - Explained Driver Operations Guide

Every route is broken up into smaller sections that are

referred to as “blocks”, which are the areas between
two signals.
Most blocks are big enough to allow for your entire train
to stop within one.
These blocks are used to ensure a safe and efficient
operation of the trains.
Only one train at a time is allowed to occupy a block to
prevent any crashes.

 Interacting with a Dispatcher Driver Operations Guide

The driving procedure varies slightly, depending on whether there is a Dispatcher

on the platform where you are stopping or not.
When you arrive at a station and have finished loading your passengers, you will
notice that you are unable to close your doors if there is a Dispatcher on duty.
Instead, you will see “Awaiting initial dispatch procedure” above the GUI buttons.
You will have to wait for the Dispatcher to come to your platform and dispatch
your train. They will sound their whistle, after which you will see “Lock passenger
doors to finish loading” above your speedometer and are able to close your doors.
When this has been done, you will then see “Awaiting final dispatch procedure”
above your speedometer.
After the Dispatcher sounds their whistle for a second time, you will be allowed to
depart the station and be on your way to your next stop.

 Driving with a Guard Driver Operations Guide

The driving procedure varies slightly if there is a Guard on your train.

When accepting a Guard Request, they are teleported to a seat inside your train.
When you come to a stop, you need to press to allow the Guard to unlock the
doors and begin loading passengers.
Guard Request
Once passengers are loaded, you will see “Awaiting initial dispatch procedure”
above your speedometer and have to wait for the Guard to sound their whistle and
close the doors. When your doors are closed and the next signal is not red, they
will sound their whistle a second time and get back into your train.
Before you can depart, the Guard needs to press the buzzer to let you know that
everything is ready for departure. You will hear an audible tone, and the bell icon
in your GUI will be highlighted with a pink border. Signal the Guard by clicking on
the bell in the GUI or simply pressing . After this, you are allowed to depart the
station and drive to your next stop. Guard Buzzer
 Automatic Warning System Driver Operations Guide

The AWS (Automatic Warning System) will alert you with a visual indicator
and an audible tone when you are approaching a signal that is set to
Preliminary Caution, Caution or Danger.
You have 6 seconds to dismiss the AWS warning by clicking directly on it in
the GUI or by pressing .
If you don’t dismiss the AWS warning, your train will immediately stop. You
will then have to wait 10 seconds before you can release the brakes. AWS Indicator AWS Indicator
(Off-State) (Warning-State)
If you SPAD, the TPWS (Train Protection and Warning System) will engage
the emergency brakes, and your train will immediately stop. You will have to
wait 10 seconds and until the next block is clear before you are able to
release the brakes and resume driving.
If the signal is controlled by a Signaller, you have to wait for them to change
the signal to caution/proceed before you can release the brakes.

 Rules & Consequences Driver Operations Guide

As a Qualified Driver for SCR, you need to keep in mind there are rules on things you should not do which you
need to follow. The rules are not limited to those shown below and are only examples of the most common ones.
● Being disrespectful towards any user at SCR, regardless of their rank
● Ruining the in-game experience of other players by leaving your train AFK on the tracks, intentionally
driving slowly, or train surfing (jumping on the roof of a train)
● Parkouring to places you should not be, such as a roof/gantry or jumping across the tracks
● Hindering Guards/Dispatchers/Signallers from doing their work
● Exceeding the speed limit (Speeding)

If reported, the Driver Managers will review the case and issue an official warning if valid evidence is presented.
Depending on the frequency and severity of the offence, you may be demoted to Trainee Driver and temporarily
or permanently banned from future Qualified Driver Trainings.
