All this concentration on the East and West coast mainlines. Why not the South Eastern? A Simsig of all the Power boxes that existed before the migration into Ashford IECC, East Kent Pebble.. I mean ROC, and now Three Bridges ROC. Would provide a great multi-player setup as all boxes would be very busy. Would be interesting how all you Amatuer Simsiggers would cope with a South Eastern Rush Hour, feeding the trains in from rural Kent into the suburbs of south London and finally into Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Blackfriars and Victoria. It would provide for all Simsiggers no matter the level they are at.

Yes, and I know London Bridge ASC was in development. But what about Dartford PSB, the routes through the Medway Towns, Rochester, Gillingham, Rainham, onto Sittingbourne, Faversham, Margate, Ramsgate and onto Dover and Folkestone around to Ashford, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Orpington, Chislehurst.

Before a sim can be written the developer needs information about (among other things):

* Signal and point numbers and locations
* Track circuit IDs and lengths
* Interlocking tables
* Gradient profiles

It's not as easy as one might think!
