Paddington - fills the space between Marylebone and Victoria

Although am I right in thinking that in the modern era doesn't exist and that where North Pole Depot is on Vic Central was the old connection from near Old Oak on the GWML?

James
Correct - North Pole Depot was built on the site of the former connection between the two. The single track Arr/Dep line from North Pole up to the West London Line is, broadly speaking, on the alignment of the old connection.

To connect Victoria to Marylebone you would need to chain Victoria Central, Wembley Mainline, North London Line and Marylebone sims, a "Paddington" sim wouldn't actually come into it.

Assuming Greenford is a separate sim, it could be snuck onto the side of Paddington to keep those trains captive.

Discounting a historical Broad Street sim, it is the last remaining London terminal for which a sim has been neither released nor publicly announced, though.
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.

Aren't Charing Cross and Cannon Street also untouched by SimSig so far?

Part of London bridge which I thought was announced as in development with no forseeable release date

17 posts 		I think the new simulation will use the new feature in the core code of stacked routes.

So I'd guess: New York's Penn Station

Hah! That'd be nice but it's incredibly difficult to get information for US railways.

1270 posts 		Another idea as to possible sims that were never seen before.

I heard a while ago that an update would, at some point, be forthcoming to Stafford to include the Norton Bridge flyover and possibly include chaining to Rugby North. Might there in fact be two previews: an update to Stafford as well as a preview of Stoke SCC to include the Norton Bridge flyover? In effect 7-5-5 for Stafford sim in its current form.

That is the case, even to those in the industry. I would love a sim of Grand Central Terminal and New York Metro System.

Slough and Reading are in development, and screenshots were posted on here a while ago. Whether that counts as "seen before", I don't know.

Just noticed there was an overlap in areas covered and having seen posts on Simsig Facebook. Looked like it would be handy to share data and the rest is idle internet speculation. Please feel free to ignore.

I was going to say Ashford - simply on the basis of home!

Possible a full release of the NLL - GeoffM said GeoffM in post 93261 said:
Howard Potter is working on getting NLL fixed and ready for release - I saw a version just yesterday. Being a hybrid (no specific era) it is slightly more tricky, and having so many chaining connections / junctions also makes testing tough.
on the 21st of the previous month, so it's a possibility.
The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails

BTW, cannot make the meeting :(
nroberts was surprisingly quick to get the correct answer!

Newport will show case tomorrow along side Cardiff, Cardiff Valleys and Cardiff Vale of Glamorgan. I hasten to add it's a little rough and ready but I hope everyone will enjoy a go.
