Many thanks - Hadn't come across OTT before, very useful...

The lot of them... the Network Rail site contains the current WTTs, and the Dec 13 ones must have been widely circulated by now...

Does anyone have a link to a copy of the December 2013 WTT? Cheers

Good to hear from you again Ed! I'm not as active on Forums as I was and haven't done much BVEing for a while. However, I'm easing myself back into the swing of things with a little project I'm working on! Kind regards eezypeazy

There's a little more detail reported by the Berwick Advertiser. The Belford Station scheme is only costing £600,000 - hardly a drop in the DfT's oceanic budget! Let's say that it attracts six return journey passengers a day - that's six entries and six exits, making 12 a day in total, five...

Surely this is one of the reasons why the major TOCs use simulators? Don't they enable drivers to experience some of the major features of a route without having to be on it? And even if you're driving it as a game, surely the challenge must be to learn the route and drive it accordingly...
