I'm very slowly working on a St Pancras to Bedford route for BVE 4, which will include a semi-fictional branch to Kings Cross Thameslink for Thameslink services. There are some screenshots on my fotopic page, second link in my signature.

If you mean the shot with the Metrobus, that was just me messing around. The M1 is done as a track though, so the sections where it runs alongside could be driven using BRR, but it's only between the North Circular and Scratchwood, and a short bit at Sundon between Leagrave and Harlington.
The M1 actually takes a very different route between those two points though, swinging west towards Watford and Hemel Hempstead before passing Luton, and then after briefly coming alongside the MML it again goes off west towards Milton Keynes whereas the MML heads slightly east to Bedford, infact, from Luton it's the A6 that follows the line closest, right through to Ambergate north of Derby where the line turns east then north towards Sheffield wheras the road follows the old Manchester route, now closed between Matlock and Buxton (incidently, the road then follows the WCML to Carlisle).

While on the topic of the MCW Metrobus, is there an update on it at all or the Bus Route?

This route is going to be thrilling I think when it is ready! Cannot wait! Is it still going to be released with the different periods? I remember people saying there would be an 1980's setting as well as a 90s setting.

I do believe that is still true as Chris hasnt said otherwise. Personally I cant wait for the route either, but the ONLY thing I think could be changed is the track texture (If the ones atm make it to the final release).

I take it this route will require a 319. Does anyone know if there is currently a 319 in production for BVE4? I took the BVE2 319 for a run yesterday and it was a little frustrating with no working AWS! If there isn't currently a BVE4 319 I might have a go myself as its probably about time I gave something back to the community!
