Great news, thank you Jan. I appreciate you and the team having listened to the feedback.

Hi Candace. I'm from the UK, and I find your tone absolutely fine. I like the fact that you're clear and to the point, and I find your tone...

The big media launch of Cambridge South was cancelled as it wasn’t considered appropriate after the recent fatal accident on the MML - it opened...

Brilliant, thanks Lamplight. It’s good to know the thread won’t be lost.

Thank you, it's very kind of you to mention the Steam thread. Does anyone know (I have zero expertise in this stuff) whether it's possible to...

Just adding my name to the list of people who would post on a new forum if one were created. I’d also be happy to do some moderating if that would...

The odd thing is, that means we can make threads about problems, but not about about anything positive, as that’s off-topic for a Trouble Shooting...

Great run, Lamplight, and some absolutely brilliant pictures, as ever. I particularly enjoyed the black and white ones. They’re like a step back...

Thank you. I’ve stopped playing the route since discovering there are no arrival times, but I’ll have a look at these.

Thank you for your response, it's much appreciated! I suspected that may be the case, but just wanted to check I hadn't missed any developments....

Please can the arrival times be put back as soon as possible. For me there’s really not much point in driving a train with no scheduled arrival...

Thank you for keeping working on this. I noticed that Matt drove the 86 using a ‘TS Controllers’ controller and that seemed to work fine. I’d...

Sorry, just to hopefully help with this, this is the BR Drivers manual for tap-changer electric locos....

If you’re on a rising gradient, you may well need around 100% power to keep close to the line speed. Your fixed formula of reducing power 10mph...

Ideally you’d run the taps all the way down before going to Off, but that isn’t always possible, either in the game or in real life. For example,...

Well, I’ve reverted to the Class 87 now (shame about the 86, but never mind - the 87 is as great as ever!) and the route is running fine for me,...

Has anyone found a way to get RailDriver to work with the Class 86/2 or 86/4, please? By default, when you move the lever to the 'Run Up'...

RailDriver doesn't work correctly with the AC electrics unfortunately. When you move the lever to the 'Run Up' position it drops back to 'Notch...

My understanding is the mk3 sleepers can do 100mph, although they’re timed to 80mph. So they do 80mph when running to time (to improve ride...

It is. The trains in the timetable which are formed of mk2 stock are timed to 100mph.

I haven’t studied the logs for a while, but from memory the crossover point at which the 91 would ‘overtake’ the HST was about 80mph. Given the...

I haven't driven Peterborough-Doncaster much since its release. It's not that there's anything wrong with the route, it's just that the traction...

Good news, thank you.

I posted my previous post before seeing yours, but it seems we’re of the same mind on this. 10+ coach loco-hauled trains tackling the South Devon...

I saw the 2019 Preston-Carlisle and it does indeed look as if they did a great job. Forward-dating of routes to the modern(ish) era doesn’t really...

You’re right, I don’t think DTG will back-date a route again. I wonder whether someone else might, though. GWE was an odd choice because the...

That would be superb. There used to be a mod (soon after Cross City came out) enabling replacement of the 323 with a 3-car 101. It was great, and...

Yes, perhaps so, but on previous JT routes a 101 could always be used in place of a 142. It’ll be a real shame if the same can’t be done on...

That’s a bit odd if the 101 isn’t layered in, yet the manual specifically mentions Leyland having a regular service to Liverpool. I’m not sure...

The 304 would be a great DLC, but the problem is the only place it could be driven realistically is 3 stops Crewe to Acton Bridge. The only way...

Thank you. Sounds like fun! I hope these services feature on the route.

That’s a good point. Any idea what they would have been formed of in this era?

Unless someone can correct me, there’s not much scope to drive anything which stops at any of them, I’m afraid. Leyland is served by...

That’s interesting. I’ve never played World of Subways 3 because I’d read that the physics are poor and that there are no gradients at all - which...

I think this is because, when you include the door open and door close sequence in addition to the door open time demanded by the dwell time...

Nobody should be relying solely on it, I agree - there should be other measures in place. But being aware of train movements around you is still...

For me, an aircraft having a flag on it feels natural, because they operate internationally. The same for a ship. Covering things which only...

Only trains with a certain headlight intensity (generally the most modern trains) are permitted not to have yellow fronts. Even then, there has...

While I’m generally of the opinion that any livery can look good on a class 47, I think this may be the exception which proves the rule.

After many hours of work, I’ve come up with this. All rights reserved. [IMG]

It’s certainly a big improvement. I’m not sure the red line along the top really works because that’s where you put a coloured stripe to indicate...

Oddly enough the other one I can think of which makes significant use of the national flag is the ScotRail ‘saltire’ livery.

I do think that’s a valid point, and I certainly don’t mean to suggest that flags shouldn’t be used for anything, ever. I think my view of the use...

Just as we know that the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ movement is designed to do the opposite - to exclude and marginalise a particular segment of our...

100% this.

My memory is of pairs of 20s (coupled nose to nose) on MGR trains. I’m sure there are instances of 3 having been used, but I don’t remember it...

Trains don’t accumulate dirt in the same way that rally cars do, as they don’t go splashing through the mud - they run on rails. Dirt accumulation...

The 108’s looking great. The second picture is Dalston, looking East. The first picture could be anywhere!

Ah, shame. While it’s true that the fact DTG can do a form of approach control using semaphores tends to suggest they have most of the coding...

Really? That’s great news if so, as - while I have no personal interest in Wonders of Soder - it means we should get routes with Rule 39A working...
