    I admit it may well be the case that I am doing something wrong, or i just don't understand the route properly, but I have just tried to create a scenario for WCML South and whilst the tube is playable in timetable mode it appears you cannot include it in a scenario? For example it is not possible to select platforms 2 and 3 at Queens Park? I was hoping to have tube trains in action whilst driving other trains on the main line and London Overground routes. Is there a reason for this omission?

    I am also having difficulty with specifying a freight service from Willesden to Milton Keynes even though the exact same service is available in timetable mode? I've tried starting from every different track, platform and siding at Willesden but Milton Keynes is not available to select (furthest I can specify is Watford Junction)?

    Also I can't see any portals? In other routes you can specify portals so that the trains disappear rather than block a platform at a station but I can't see any portals for this route? Again is there any reason for this?

    It is noticeable that if I create a scenario which is not Off The Rails then the only locos available to select are the 350, 377 & 390 i.e. the 66 and Tube stock are not even listed.

    These restrictions mean what was going to be a fantastic scenario planner opportunity, with lots of trains and services, will now be much restricted which is a great pity.

    The power on the dc line is 750v so no tube stock will be compatible with it unless using off the rails.

    Check out some of the nice scenarios already available on the hub, might give you some ideas.

    Have you actually tried to use the 1972 stock on scenario designer?
    You can't select it unless you chose off the rails.
    This is because the dc lines are now 750v and not 660v.
    Irl they had to change from 660v to 750v because the 710s won't run on 660v like the 378s did.
    The 1972 stock and 1938 stock in the game are configured to run 660v as the bakerloo line predates the change over.
    Dtg have modified the 1972 stock in some way so it will run in timetable mode and free roam on wcml but not in scenario designer.
    The 1938 stock doesn't work at all. In free roam.

    Oh you meant in game. I thought you mean in real life. Sorry.

    Also, no I haven't tried to use the 72 stock in scenario planner.
