Might want to merge it with this one on the list https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/shinetsu-main-line-takasaki-to-nagano.32141/
Ah have they finally fixed that? Are they interchangeable with buses yet? I'd love to see something like the OV-Chipkaart or IC-Card (Suica) in...
There are a few dangerous ones - as in they have a high number of risk factors. Of course if everyone does right then all is safe, but human...
In the UK, no idea - the ITSO scheme should really have been national rather then each public transport operator having their own implementation.
One infamous crossing on SWEW has been removed now - that's the one between Theale and Aldermaston where an HST hit a car and derailed killing...
Good Luck with the Yamanote - that'll be a real system killer as well as probably finishing off whoever has to timetable it. Enjoy this Timelapse...
Ashford had AWS - it was converted to KVB at the start of last year, just before the rona hit. 374s don't have AWS or TPWS
I'm very mixed :) Channels I watch include Techmoan, LGR, Big Clive, Geoff Marshall, Well There's Your Problem, Akidearest, TokiDoki Traveller,...
It's ATO Level 2 - so has a staff member to work doors and press "ATO START" - they sit in one of the cabs. The Japanese maglev is ATO level 3 -...
The Maglev went down like a lead balloon on release, especially as it was full price initially. I think all involved recognise it was a mistake in...

A bit like this one then? [MEDIA] or this one [MEDIA] (The Stationary sets are in the turnback sidings)
It wasn't that Stadler refused as they are short run specialists - but I gather it was the maintenance contract. GA wanted Stadler to take over...
Yeah that was a promo run with the pre-production sets - they entered service in late 2017
They were never that reliable - they had a complete new drive train and engine fitted after less then 5 years in service, and reliability wise...
374s are UK registered (they have UIC numbers and the country code is 70 for UK) - 373s don't carry UIC numbers (or didn't) so it's not obvious there
Finally! Now for the older Sprinters (which are hot and noisy and very much not up to modern expectations)
Which is what I said - "In House Operator" as opposed to Outsourced or Contracted out. Legally Scotrail will have an operating company - just the...
As far as I can see they haven't included the "Operated by Abellio" text on the doors - given Abellio have forfeit their contract for Scotrail...
GA certainly did on the 745 fleet, 20 units with 18 needed each day. Have a set out for any reason and you have a problem.
Stadler's product is usually pretty high quality - but it's pretty obvious when you compare with the SOB units built at the same time that GA...
The Upgrades of the mid 2000s to the WCML have taken things as far as they can with existing infrastructure. Its safe to say that even with a...
I don't believe DTG have the rights to use either of those. The base Scotrail brand is owned by the Scottish Government - Abellio seem not to...
May be down to DTG having a licence from the Scottish Gov for Scotrail, but not from whatever Strathclyde Passenger Transport are calling...
The Avocet Line runs from Exeter to Exmouth along the opposite side of the river from the Riviera Line. - it's a very busy commuter line these...
They are similar, 313 will have different physics though, as built in DC mode the two motor cars are disconnected and are fully independent*,...
I'm pretty sure AP used the same audio in their 313/314/315 packs - they are the same shell and motors after all ;)
I'd say the Scenery would be more important especially the more distant rendering as you have a clear view to the line on the other side of the...
No Pacers please - awful things are thankfully gone now, I'd go for 150 and 166 as both are the current stock - and you get a bit more variety :)
It's just a Radio - so how do you use it in a solo game?
Issues with licencing are the problem, if DTG were to distribute them they could be liable if an operator objects. *CoughBNSFcough*
Um, what would it actually do, Apart from have the player type a number in using an awkward keypad at the start of a trip?
Also with the stations being part of the Terminals, security is likely to take an interest if you were to try a research trip without permission.
There's a Surplus of EMUs at the moment - Electrification hasn't kept up. Thing is newer units with things like aircon are available now. Spares...

Long Distance is about 50% Leisure 50% business - will there be fewer long haul daily commuters, probably. But there will still be a lot of people...
Ok how would you improve what we have? - the WCML upgrade showed that on line upgrades are difficult, disruptive and expensive. So why not build...
I think this is very much the case - given the state of the BBC's budget they obviously don't want to win and have to pay for hosting, but at the...
I did one for the Akita a while back https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/akita-shinkansen.27075/

I don't get why people are trying to make their suggestions look like official content announcements.
