People will probably criticise me for saying this but I'm a bit suspicious about this project. It has been known for people to make up that they are making a route and even have a website but turned out it was just a fake. I will be convinced as soon as I see a screenshot. There must be something to show even if it's just trackwork seeing as you've been working on it for 4 - 5 months.

 

[Jonno2055]

Hmm, but the website has got its own domain name, I certainly would n't waste 20 quid on a joke. Looking forward to the route though.

I suppose its possible yes, you will be proved wrong when (if) we see screenshots

Website says we'll get screenies from 7/03/2006, however if you view NSERailways' public profile in the top right opposite his avatar appears to be a thumbnail screenshot?

I really doubt somebody would go that far just pull a joke...

I agree, but its not impossible

Oh don't be so pessimistic. It's hardly as if it's someone coming in and promising (in text message language) to create the whole of the country, but they need someone to show them how you open Notepad so they can start.

Website looks good, but wouldn't it be better to rely less on Flash?

 

[Nitro]

If you look at the "NSE Railways News" you will see that they are looking for BETA testers and Zane is already one but like its been said until we see screenies we wont know for sure...

 

[NSE Railways]

I can understand why your all questoning whether its really a rounte or not, but im not on my own with this so i need permission from everybody on the release the screenshots, we agreed on the date 7.03.2006 im sorry if it seems to long wait but i do anything else about it.

[darkavenger38]

i have no doubt what so ever that this is authentic because i do tend to have faith in everyone, am looking forward to this route very much.. matt check your pm's also i have sent you an email

[Nitro]

No need for £20. The site is done using an online utility called SiteMaker where you can choose the design etc and have it hosted by them. Really, all you'd need is to get a £1.99 domain from 1&1 or something and there you have a professional, convincing looking website for just £1.99

That aside, I look forward to this route - it sounds like it's going to be great!

Well i have paid £20 for a domain name otherwise it would be www.nserailways.moonfruit.com.

I know theres been people thinking it might not be real but...... i have a number of beta testers now, and as soon as they play it, then you'll all know it's not fake, but please be patient.

 

[Tom]

£20 for a domain at Moonfruit? That's expensive if its for 2 years...

Well that inculeds domain, and e-mail address, but you will see a very new website soon, i have hired a webmaster.

 

[Tom]

Still - I could get a .com for £5 a year... that includes, err... well, everything under the sun that is physically possible on this server.

One and Central trains serve this route, One going to Cambridge and Central going as far as Ely then reverse.

The service on this route are as followed the ONE go from Norwich to Cambridge and rtn stoping at all stations. Central have one going from norwich to liverpool lime street and rtn this stops and thetford and Ely and reverses to get on the norwich line from the march line. There is also a central service that comes off the march line going to stanney air. calling at ELY and cambridge. there is a later one that end at cambridge instead of the airport. this service get to cambridge at about 9PM.

There is also a bit off freight there are some from poter group (near ELY in between the norwich line junc and the station) going to london this is normaly 66 - 67, and a RMC train that goes in to good lines at ely to run round to get on the march line.

There is the sugerstone from norwich normaly a 66 - 60. the stone train in to trowes. which is on the otherside off the river to NCP (norwich crown point) and the stone train to elcces road normaly a 60 but that could be a 66.

Hope this helps.

Maybe he is busy coding it

 

[darkavenger38]

that is a very good point, it is just i sent him a email but as you say he is probably coding it so i have no more questions and my doubt is gone

Hmm the site doesnt say anything about the BVE Norwich - Cambridge route which abit strange although there are sections from the site which are not launched so maybe the route will be in one of them.

 

[darkavenger38]

if you look on the rail simulators part there apears to be a screenshot there( the icon is i think anyway)

Regards
Tom

 

[Nitro]

Yeah but that looks like its from MSTS and not BVE.

 

[The Snap]

Yeah, I can see on the site where it says Rail Simulation, but it does look very similar to MSTS. When you click the image, it says the page will be launched on the 16th March 2006. I, and a few others, will be waiting will bated breath...

 

[devon_metro]

It looks a lot like the Eurostar on MSTS...

Website looks promising

 

[Coxster]

It is MSTS, but it says railway simulators which implies the simulation section will include more than just BVE.
