A rather vast amount of photos and history of the line can be found at the below link courtesy of the late David Heys and local Buxton dentist /...
Just to put some numbers to the route length discussion, I can't find an exact mileage but the route looks like it's currently around 30 miles for...
TBH the timetable really needs looking at, possibly even starting from scratch. It's a bit of a mess, sadly. That's the one area that I hope is...
Interesting that EMT has been used rather than the current operator EMR. If the EMT license is available, then does this also mean that the...
Yes, I did notice that - which I thought was odd considering that one of the distinctive services of this route relies on a DMU (and one that we...
The expresses seem to stop first northbound at Matlock so that may be where the player takes over. To be honest, I think they've definitely...
This looks like a 101 to me although could be a 111 (I understand them to be essentially identical but the 111 having a smidge more powerrrrrr for...
My understanding having done quite a bit of Googling since the leak is that the following would be quite realistic: Jubilee on express passenger...
Yes, but as the route is set in 1963 it would have been a 2-car DMU. Class 111 or 104 seem to have been the most common but there are some photos...

It's announced! Really, really looking forward to this. Lots of questions though, particularly around the timetable. Discuss!
Think you might be slightly disappointed with one of those notes there... but still much to look forward to regardless!
Sorry, I can see that there's been some request to delete this stuff and I'm ok with that so won't talk more for now, just got excited. It'll come...
Going to do a bit of controversial pie-in-the-sky-ing here (indulge me for a minute); I wonder how East Coastway sales are these days? If they're...
I didn't state it outright but yeah I agree. It makes sense, it's just a shame it's taking so long to get the physics sorted.
See above my findings from a different thread on the braking - the brake force looks correct to the original specification but the brake handle...
The difference for the TF2 devs though is that they're not reliant on goodwill and a working relationship with brands for their vanilla game in...
You know OldVern I've been considering starting up a similar topic recently, although I have to say that (perhaps unusually?) my view is perhaps a...
The expansion pack looks to be a steam railtour pack for West Cornwall Local using the Jubilee from Spirit of Steam - so far nothing to do with...
We've been vociferously agreeing on this for quite a while cloudyskies21 . I think one of the biggest keys is to prioritise implementing common...
I find myself coming back to this thread sooner than anticipated with more frustrations :( - The timetable is purportedly a current one, but a...
Just coming back with some updated thoughts now that I've had the opportunity to play the route for a few hours. It's ok but definitely the...
Hi Matt - thanks for the response to this topic. Just for clarification, what do you mean by 'what's being asked for'? Do you mean suggestions on...
My perception is that the issue with the braking is not to do with the Simugraph setup as per my post above but is much more likely down to: a)...
I've just taken a Class 385 out on the dead-level Training Center loop to measure the braking force (empty 4-car unit) to try and put some numbers...
Fully agree with this. I'm happy with steam, BR Blue or modern era, but I'd really like to see busier and more diverse UK timetables making full...
I have pre-ordered but my interest is cooling off a bit on the basis of the stream. I'm going to give it a go for a couple of hours on Thursday...
I'm playing it quite a bit at the moment and would say that I'd really like to see the upgraded lighting and a newer, busier timetable...
The actual passenger timetables for 1958 are available on Timetable World and it's possible to look up the real timings, which are perfectly...
Brilliant, thanks for the info!
Related - would it be a lot of work to enable the WCL Class 150 to sometimes substitute for the 2-car Class 101 that does the...
Would just like to add my voice to those calling out for a new NTP timetable - it's a brilliant route but far, far too quiet. Even with the Heavy...
This is true but I think it's more natural for a driver to use the head-out camera in a steam locomotive than a 385 :)
Extremely frustrating to see that the timetable stops are autocalculated instead of being real timings again.
Oh for the love of... [ATTACH] It looks like timetable stops are still auto-calculated instead of being real timings. Jasper_Rivet could this...
Is there any way of telling that it's specifically set in 2014 other than the rolling stock?
Were there any major changes to the layout, stations or operation (other than rolling stock) of the Cathcart Circle routes between 2014 and 2019...

Although it fits the route code, Chiltern Main Line would be extremely unlikely IMO. Banbury would be a weird point to stop at (surely you'd want...
I'm still waiting to see the timetable details but the little teasers put out so far are really impressive (especially considering the smaller...
More likely, it could be the Marshlink line Ashford Intl - Ore (or Eastbourne) with a Class 171 and a Class 66 for nuclear flask trains out of...
I'm almost sure it would be (far) too big a route but the Chiltern route from London Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill uses Class 168...
Turns out that the Class 168/170/171 are all Diesel Hydraulics too, as well as the 185 (only used by Trans-Pennine Express).
Interesting route code - shows both Diesel Electric and Diesel Hydraulic. Any guesses as to what this might be?
The code on the Skyhook Games route is interesting - both Diesel Electric and Diesel Hydraulic, but set in the modern day. Does anyone have any...
I do think that a Class 33 railtour would be a very good addition to Brighton Main Line or ECW (or both!). It could also make use of the Class 08...
Yes - sorry that's what I meant (layering / substitution are all part of the same system in my head). Just having the 385 substitute would be...
As I understand it per DTG's previous explanations, building a new timetable is only required when the length of a formation is different (eg. why...
The deciding factor for me on this route will definitely be the timetable. It's got to be representative of the full real-life timetable...
