    Hi All,


    According to the map, the Ardingly branch is included (north of Haywards Heath), but I see no services going in or coming from that direction. What's the purpose of it? Anyone found any services that are going there?

    (I know in real life it's pretty dead, not sure if Hanson Asphalt is still using it...)

    Well it was used IRL this morning. There was an aggregate train that arrived at 0556 and left at 0857, according to Real Time Trains.

    For all the incredible hours Joe put into BML's brilliant timetable, he ran out of time before he could put in more than a handful of freight services.

    Unfortunately lots of time was spent getting 4000 passenger services "working" (within a given rate of working) but not too much outside of this so no railtours, freight workings etc

    There's actually an interesting service out of that siding including a loco runaround through Haywards Heath so I was hoping it would be included. Last I checked on RTT there are over 30 freight run available a day on the L2B route, but in game you get two...

    Definitely not 30, I’m guessing those are runs as required services. Real number is probably like 3 or 4

    "available" as in slots, many are Qed out (run as required), but the day I counted there were 7 runs through HHE and a few more further north through E Croydon (mainly Hoo - Acton or Somerset)
