    So Bank Holiday (UK) Monday from 10 am I will be doing an 8 hour shift (Livestream) on the Southeastern Highspeed route. Come along and say hi if you have nothing else better to do.
    I did an 8 hour "shift" about 18 months ago on Hauptstrecke Rhein Ruhr. It was fun but tiring. So I could do with some support. Come and say hi.
    The Channel is Youtube.com/HentisD6569

    See you there First train of the day from Faversham @10am



    regards

    yeah tired :)
    Didok to be honest. tad hard trying to make connecting services so had a few main menu restarts at the appropriate times. Started at Faversham and managed to finish at St Pancras. A very good shift if a bit of a pain at times.

    You can watch the stream back in the link on the OP.

    Regards

    I love that route. Mountain Dew or coffee/tea might help!

    Hi Ace, yeah. I had a fair amount of drink. Im not sure what Mountain Dew is but I don't drink tea or coffee as I don't like it. Bit of a Southern Comfort man myself. Obviously couldn't drink that on an 8 hour stream though.
    Not sure what route the next 8 hour shift will be on though.

    Regards

    I don't know about 8 hours, but I do see novelty in watching someone try to play train sim world 2 after having a few drinks of southern comfort. I think I'd watch.

    You should do London Commuter once released, should be plenty of service variability over an eight-hour shift. Would look forward to seeing that.

    Yes its one that I have looked at doing but not really sure at the moment I have the time to do it. I loose my job in a few months (hopefully*) so will have time after that as I'm planning at taking about 2 or 3 months off.

    * You are probably thinking why would someone look forward to losing their job. Its a long story and its come from a bad decision made by me. Trust me when I learnt I was going to be made redundant it was a a shock and I was annoyed, but now I'm just looking forward to going.

    Regards

    No worries, I'm planning on taking a 2-3 month break from things to recharge my batteries and sort out stuff here. Whether I do full or part time work at the mo I am not quite sure. just going to have to wait and see how things go.
