Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more lies this time around
You hate it
'Cause even love you thought you found
Has faded
And lately it all seems temporary to you

How could you know
That you'e going down a road

That's endless, endless
Is it ever enough
When you're looking for a love
That's endless, endless

Tired of living for yourself
It's empty
But how could you be someone else
You can't be
And maybe life is more than chasing the wind

Love calls out in the darkness

Always seeking the heart of
The wanderers, the wanderers like you, like me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of a . d . l . r .'s song "Endless" convey the idea of the never-ending search for love and fulfillment.

Line by Line Meaning

No more lies this time around
I won't deceive you again

You hate it
You don't like hearing the truth

'Cause even love you thought you found Has faded
The love you believed in has disappeared

And lately it all seems temporary to you
Recently, everything feels short-lived to you

How could you know That you're going down a road That's endless, endless
You're unaware that you're on an eternal path

Is it ever enough When you're looking for a love That's endless, endless
Will it ever suffice when you seek infinite love

Tired of living for yourself It's empty
You're exhausted of living solely for yourself, and it feels meaningless

But how could you be someone else You can't be
It's impossible for you to be anyone other than yourself

And maybe life is more than chasing the wind
It's possible that existence isn't all about pursuing the unattainable

Love calls out in the darkness Always seeking the heart of The wanderers, the wanderers like you, like me
Love clamors out to those who are lost in life, always looking for kindred spirits, souls like yours and mine

Since trains from what I can tell haven’t run single in over a decade, this probably can’t happen as when a train has two cars only one unit needs to be receiving power to run the entire train. The B90 and B92 trains are also being replaced with a new type that’ll enter service sometime in 2022 where one unit is the length of three coupled together now.

BlocklandRunner

i doubt the P86s run single in essen too.

Yes, they really underestimated the volume of passengers which would use the railway!

Nice to see the original Island Gardens at the start. Seems strange how the original station seemed so modern back then, but look so dated now. It's also weird seeing the original single car stock, they look so small.

A fascinating watch, from someone who just about remembers the old P86/89 stock in the 90s. I miss them! How often did this procedure end up happening, both back then and now?

Potter's Videos

@The Growl But what if it breaks down due to another reason?

The Growl

7y↑1

Now it never happens due to all of the trains being 3 units in multiple, (6 cars) which allows at least 1 multiple unit to pick up power to keep the train moving.

High tech! Future! Next generation vision!

But when it breaks down some bloke has to drive from DLR HQ in his Ford Transit to come and fix it... Oh 1980's!

I pity the fool who had to do that!

What's stopping the unit that's giving the push from getting stuck between the gap?

Paul M

Usually when two trains are coupled it’s long enough to cover the gap, it’s one of the considerations when choosing whether to assist from the front or the back.

Toby Summers

7y↑2

holnrew it lost contact with the conductor rail as there aren't any on complicated crossovers I. e here the delta jct. Therefore it is dead and cannot move. Alas it is disabled and has to be assisted

Allan Dawes

Meanwhile all passengers have either died of boredom, or escaped and completed their journey on foot. It's so slow watching the recovery.

Potter's Videos

Fortunately that would not have happened back in the 1980s.

Reddy Kilowatt

So, if the disabled train is stuck in a gap without power, and it was going too slow to coast thru it -- why doesn't the second train also stall out when it pushes the first train out of the gap? It should drive into it at a very slow speed?

Ru1plays

3y↑3

Because the gap is short enough for the second train to still have power

Well I been taught about these safety instructions when I was working for London underground (TfL) how track is powered on and only use lights on inside tunnel for emergency use only and X mean radio / telephone not working. Also wear the correct PPE on site safety including depot , when I was at Ealing common depot, Acton works we had to wear orange HV in case of moving trains ahead and also boots done up properly for safety. I also did a CSA gateline duty for LU at Victoria tube station like 54 or 16 to base are you received over in case barrier is not working we reseted to 95E if broken. When I also worked at East kent railway, Shepherdswell near dover I passed PTS course if qualified to work on the track or on the line also look out for ongoing trains as both directions

Nice to see that although the trains and railway have changed a lot since then, the uniforms remain as spiffy now as back then! Shame about the new liveries though, I prefer the original blue with red stripes...

Re 'gapping', surely the point of having more than one collector shoe per train is that if one shoe loses contact with the rail at a junction, there will be other shoes still in contact elsewhere on the train. Even with the original single-car trains, I'm surprised the gaps are so long that ALL shoes lose contact simultaneously and the train was expected to coast across.

repoman

any easy way to prevent this kind of thing from happening and saving the people on the trains a lot of time is to simple add a 3rd or 4th car to the train, the extra length will allow the train to thru switches or around curves and then get power back every time by looking at the set up of what has been laid out already.

repoman

that's good. it must have sucked having to push one of these for it to get power back every 5 minutes.

sarah bennion

they have since then :)

This is a really sad scenario for any railway: The service breaking down because a train wasn't fast enough and lost contact with the current supply.

I wonder if this ever really happened or if it was just their way of not admitting that they expected more frequent technical failures, as it is the case with every new technology.
Because if they WERE expecting this to happen, why didn't they try to built junctions with little bits of conductor rail inbetween or use overhead wiring altogether ??

Normanusrex

@Paul M You're probably right. It just seems to me to be a pretty inefficient system, when those service disruptions are expected right from the start. But that could be just my view. Being a German, I'm used to overhead wiring almost everywhere.

Paul M

Gapping happens but it’s pretty rare, there are junctions that are too complicated to have smaller sections of conductor rail and it’s usually when something else goes wrong or due to passenger action that a train becomes gapped. It used to happen on other lines with short trains (eg Silverlink with their 3 car trains) but most now have 4/5 car trains or run in multiple configuration which obviates the problem.

So that’s why DLR trains are 6 cars. They never make it past the Poplar junction because they are too short

There are on most UK trains, Just a flash of both headlights activated by a button in the cab

Sylvia Else

I'd have thought that on an automatic railway, it would be possible to ensure that a train never crosses a conductor rail gap at a speed slow enough to let it become stalled.

straightpipediesel

A: Poor manual driving because of system failure, maintenance, track inspection B: an emergency stop is triggered due to a passenger emergency alarm, on-board system failure (door switch opens), train control system failure, points detected out of position, etc.

Why would a driverless train move too slowly to coast over a gap in the 3rd rail?

Dan Woodhouse

@Potter's Videos yes the DLR signalling system could be a bit barmy sometimes

The computer used tell train to stop at Canery Wharf in the days when there was'nt a station there

Potter's Videos

Presumably because it relied on the signalling system and it told the train to do that.

why not use 3rd and 4th rails?

The Train Channel

9y↑14

@London.Underground.Lover The 3rd rail is only exposed on the underside so if someone were to fall on the tracks they wouldn't touch it, and a 4th rail is only used on the Underground to prevent current flowing through gas & water pipes plus the tunnels themselves. The 4th rail can be properly insulated as it does not have to be load bearing.

If you're gonna pay people to be in the trains anyway, why not just let them be train operators, rather than paying them AND paying for elaborate computer systems to operate the trains?

It's exactly what +CrazyCashGaming said- the DLR has always been automated, but the trains have a "train captain" in case of emergencies such as the train getting stuck, or if the train has to be evacuated.

CaitTheNerd

+waiyinka They always have been driverless, they require a 'supervisor' to operate the doors these days and to make sure everything is running ok. They will sometimes drive the train anyway.
