    Refurbished Class 323 Released

    Copy the csv route file for the timetable that you want, open the file and rename the train folder to the CL323 refurb name. When the 323 was updated, it changed both the names so you will need to change it either in the route file or use route randomiser as mentioned.

    455s in Southampton, Monday

    Think you'l find bomo trips are wim pk guys, I know they always used to. More likely to be the havant move as there is no ECS from Northam in the waterloo A+Ds in the evening as 12 cars around the time it would be for that trip. (Unless it was an amendment:grin:) You may find that the train...

    455s in Southampton, Monday

    Did it not apply the post? Sorry - Cudln't find ECS move for around that time for one for Waterloo - there is a 1656 from Havant which is a 12 car with no working from waterloo so would asume it was that one (there doesn't appear to be a down service).

    Single Lens Signals

    One of the reasons is that they provide a clearer more definitive colour and increase signal sighting. It also reduces the risk of cross reading in direct sunlight where on the old signals it could be taken as a red stop showing a yellow caution aspect. As there is only one or two to replace a...

    Problematic passengers

    Weekend travelers get me, during the week you get your everyday travellers that know what, when and where they want. Weekends unleash a whole new set of travellers that just don't seem to have a clue! You get the "Does the swindon train stop at swindon" and "what time does the 4.00 go?" and...

    Victoria Line

    The set on the victoria one was released with the C stock cab as nothing was available at the time. The MSTS cab is very good and does fit just right. Victoria line is well worth it as it features full DVA messages, graphics are generally good and even feature working platform mirrors!

    SWT On train messages

    Software u[grades i'm affraid! Probably happend when they had a timetable change and updated the database. Either that or the guards forget to do a manual short platform message. Not sure if the message picks up the station or not as its played through. More than likely removed from the...

    You may find that he may have made an announcement but if "PA to Unit" is selected by mistake without the guard realising it then it would indeed have only come out in the one car.... This is a facility that is available on the desiros but not on 455s as far as I am aware as it wasn't built...

    Have I been overcharged for my excess?

    As part of the national conditions of carriage it does state that changes where allowed on that particular ticket can incur an admin charge although there are those that will waver it. You will usually find that this is only charged when tickets are changed involving seat allocations...

    Re my last post - was referring to the fact that if PIS is not functioning correctly, or train is misformed so that it will disrupt the PIS or cause confusion, then the guard should make appropriate manual announcements by over-riding the PIS. Part of the local instructions for use of...
