I noticed in the Festival of Rail running order that the Tohoku line is mentioned - I'm guessing it's coming to steam soon? :D

日本 because the railways there are on another level
First rule of Piracy - you don't try and get support from the developer. If you pirate it and run into problems then you are on your own. Have...
Something else that is a factor - MS and Sony lose money through every console they sell. They subsidise the cost because they make it back...
Also with PC - there is currently a Sale War between Steam and Epic - both are competing with their discounts to attract/keep players on their...
I'm expecting a rise - because the costs of software are rising at the moment. The triple A devs raised the starting price of their games to £60...
I'm pretty sure development on the TS Classic core has stopped or is bare minimum, but with a large and still active userbase it doesn't do any...
I think there's more important things that need doing then announcements which are likely to be barely audible in the cab
Still don't think this is wise - large chunk is under ATO (Manual driving is only really done on the outer sections during evenings and weekends)...
I believe a couple of 143s made it down to Penzance in Wessex days - one had a Kernow Sticker on the front after it's vistit. They are banned...
Third Party stuff does take a lot longer as the teams are smaller. DTG have the scale to do Division of labour with team members dedicated to...
I gather Grand Central is the limiting factor and is probably the reason the route is shorter then people would like - doesn't it have about the...
Yep, that section is Dual Gauge. The Akita Shinkansen uses regauged sections of existing lines before joining the high speed line, they are...
Interestingly people have noticed the West Midlands Aventra's have switched to a new cab mid build - compare the first built unit with later...
I was surprised to see a large chunk of the Akita Shinkansen was included - Wonder if thats opening the possibility of a future E6 expansion....
And they are still delayed because the build quality is horrific! I gather Doors have been coming open in motion during testing
I seem to recall it was tried with some of the early routes, but I presume the feedback was not great and I also recall some operators were not...
I'm guessing they prefer the Hitachi IGBTs fitted to the /0 and /1 over the Alstom GTOs that the /2 and /9 have. Unless they want the Brush GTOs...
ATO isn't going to be much fun Open Doors, Close Doors, Press Start - repeat - The Central does have some manual running evenings and weekends on...
I'd not worry - this sort of thing is fascinating to railway historians. Many of the railway's early backers had made their fortunes through...
That was more the Sprinters that saved rural lines - the Pacers turned out to cost almost the same as a 150 but were nowhere near as reliable and...
Probably not great option wise - 4 times a day with 3 stops in 400 miles - it doesn't have good gameplay potential
I suspect trying to take the number of reference photos needed to model the stations would attract the attention of Airport Security and probably...
It would probably be nice to be remade in a few years time, once all the construction and Lizard line upgrades are completed but I don't get the...
It's a bigger job as the HST Power Cars and Coaches would have to be backdated to their BR Interiors and engines
West Ealing and Acton Mainline have been rebuilt as part of the Crossrail works - both new buildings opened this year. Quite a few other stations...
Spiez to Brig [IMG]
Network Rail haven't come well from that. The truck was apparently delivering to an NR site by the railway and because of a lack of turning area...
Yamanote?
Generally the S-Bahn and Regional Dostos are used as a common pool, it was similar around Leipzig before the city tunnel opened.
I suspect it's technically possible - though it needs ultra accurate stopping which I can see causing a lot of player frustration (some will like...
There is a station there - the line originally went to Charing Cross with plans to extend along Fleet Street. Plans changed and when the line was...
There is also a Diesel FLIRT in build at the moment for TfW - which strikes me as pointless given a FLIRT is an EMU with a generator car and all...
Where possible IRL I'd like to see platform edge gates fitted - I think they'd be a big boost for safety in general and suicide prevention Of...
No is the answer to that. They will mic up a train if a company agrees to let them, but some won't give access to the actual train hence sometimes...
I understand 150s are banned from the Durham Coast as the gap between the mid mounted doors and the platform at some stations is excessive. I...
Depends - they might have bought in PIS system and the announcements are done by the PIS people (or by Voice Actors contracted by them) while TfL...
It depends who has the rights to the audio - it might be the system provider rather than the TOC. In any case it's a fairly minor thing compared...
They normally stick within the M25 - as they are high capacity metro units. Also I believe they were the last new build train in the UK without...
I'm pretty sure the South West got a later batch - I don't remember them being common until 92-93 - Indeed around that time there were Cl47 + 3 or...
The Japanese units would fit the UK loading gauge in terms of height - however they are about 10cm wider than our trains, would that make a...
Early Model 455s were never pretty, but southern managed to make them worse by removing the gangway and painting them in a way that highlights the...
I'm pretty sure that the opening of the 300km/h Nurnburg - Erfurt to Leipzig HSL has seen a lot more ICE 3s working into East Germany
I can't see the western end working as a route as it's mostly single track - during this time period it had a sparse service (every 2 hours)...
Yes - don't stay in an Air B&B near some sidings 7am: HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK
