368 posts 		Had a little look at Marylebone but not yet purchased.

One observation is that is a very "high" sim; i.e. running on a laptop it takes almost all the screen height so there's little spare room for ancillary windows such as messages and chat.

At the same time there's a load of empty space on the majority of the layout.

Is this to faithfully reproduce the actual IECC or some other styling guidelines?

Are you running with the LUL lines? That fills a lot of the space above High Wycombe- Wembley.

Right OK I see with the LUL switched on it makes a bit more sense as to the whitespace with it switched off.

Back to the height issue - it's worse than I thought as even if I extend the window to fit the entire screen it doesn't all fit on and I get a vertical scroll bar. And this is at 1920x1080 (admittedly 125%).
