Wow. I can't wait until Derby is done! It's the center of quite the chaining monster!

" said:Wow. I can't wait until Derby is done! It's the center of quite the chaining monster!Don't forget that when saltley is refreshed to the newest chaining code it will link to new street, derby and Gloucester; & by extension onto the entire western chaining area aswell. " said: Plus the link from Derby to Sheffield via Clay Cross Jn.clay cross junction is controlled by trent so there is no direct route from derby sim to sheffield sim. Though the diagram perhaps would be more acurate with three routes between trent and derby seeing as it has two from saltley to new street Last edited: 29/04/2014 at 23:52 by Tempest Malice Log in to reply The following user said thank you: DaveBarraza |

Don't forget that Gloucester also requires a refresh in order to allow it to chain with Saltley.

And if we are lucky enough to see Walsall added to the West Midlands set then there will be alternative routes for Wolves & New Street & possibly Stafford if the link to Rugeley was included.

Should Nuneaton (and the link via Hawkesbury Lane) ever appear that'll give a link from Stafford (which should be a long thin vertical box squeezing between Aston/Saltley and Derby) to Coventry; a possible Rugby (1965 layout... pretty please) would then chain to Coventry and Nuneaton.

If/when Derby, Gloucester and Saltley are done, I wonder how many people we can get together? It would actually be great to get everyone in the same room. SimSig LAN party anyone?

There's also Leicester, which, as far as I've gathered would link to Peterborough and then subsequently Cambridge and King's Cross, and of course to Victoria via West Hampstead, and then one day possibly all the way to Brighton.
Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick. Log in to reply |

More details will appear in the Forthcoming Events section and on the Wiki in due course. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

Throwing Crewe into this too. Would depend in part on simulating Stoke too but certainly then you would link NWC to the rest of the chain via Stafford. Further up the coast, simulating Preston should hopefully provide a link to the east coast of Scotland via Carlisle and Motherwell! e: forgot about Chester. But you get the picture..

In a similar vain, and I can't speak for the rest of you but I've certainly had some very funny looks and several questions from folks when traveling by train in the UK and have a been playing SimSig to pass the time. A few turn out to actually know of SimSig and one or two have actually played it!!! I have actually had someone ask me "Are you signalling our train?"....just goes to show how real SimSig appears to be to some folks!!! Log in to reply |
