King's Cross

 

Kings Cross has been a long time in the making. This awesome simulation is the largest, and perhaps, the most complex SimSig available.

The simulation is based on the area of control of Kings Cross Power Box. The difference is that SimSig does not control Biggleswade or Royston, but everything else from the terminus to just North of Hitchin and Baldock on the Cambridge Line, as well as the Finsbury Park to Moorgate Branch and the whole "Herford Loop" Line.

Most of the work will be done on the first 34 route miles of the East Coast Main Line. With everything else, there is a total of at least 64 route miles in this simulation. It will be very busy, especially in the rush hour, thus making the sharing of the simulation on the internet an enjoyable alternative to single player sessions.
