Included in the ZIP is the 2009 fictional TT with no add on, and the chaos add on is included seperatly, which also has the fictional 2009 TT included so you do not need to merge the two.

This will be re-uploaded in a few weeks with any final bugs that may have been missed out, plus a few things need changing once my Cambridge TT, designed to link with this one, comes out.

Challenging - especially as I had the Oakleigh Park blockade as well! With the almost continuous 1 track failure on top - mostly point failures at King's Cross - it was interesting! Managed 87% without really cheating, but did play FCC Manager to reallocate units to services when some were trapped by point failures.

Timetable comment - several late evening trains returning to Bounds Green from Ferme Park were too close before/after London bound services at Bowes Park.

I had a problem with 1S05 - the 10:00 departure time came and went with no sign of a TRTS. On looking at F2 it's status was "no engine". I think the problem is that it arrives as 1A09 (NXEC 91+MK4s+DVT) and becomes 1S05 which is an HST.

A couple of other problems I found so far:-

2R05 has its Join and Next instructions the wrong way round so it becomes 1P01 immediately and 5E10 arrives at KX P8 and 2R05 is no longer there.

Something similar (but more exciting) happened with 5D04/2B02/2D04. 2B02 arrived and is supposed join 5D04 from Hertford Up Sidings. 5D04's Join and Next instructions are the wrong way round so 2D04, minus its rear 3 car unit portion, proceeded to tootle off to Moorgate. Cue frantic searching of F2 and F4 screens to find out what was going on and a hastily created ECS (5Z00) which chased 2D04 to Moorgate and joined there!

Having said that it looks good so far.

I'd forgotten the Hertford problem. My case was different - 2B02 arrived first and sat staring at the buffers with 5D04 behind it - refused to join until I manually reversed 2B02's direction. By then it was an hour late and I ran it off timetable to Welwyn GC (via Haringay reverse). Got it back on schedule for next 2Kxx.

I didn't have the problem with 2R05. I've just re-run that join from a save: interesting! What happened was that 2R05 arrived and sat (as 2R05 on F2)saying "waiting for joining train 1P01" - joined happily to 5E10 when it arrived - and then changed to 1P01 which is why I didn't notice anything untoward when I ran it through the first time. (too busy)

One glitch I've come across - there needs to be a rule that ensures that 6E90-2 can't appear at Welwyn Garden City Up Sidings before its predecessor (6E90-1) gets there! When I was playing this evening, 6E90-1 was 30+ late entering and hadn't passed Stevenage when 6E90-2 hove into view at the exit to the sidings at Welwyn GS! Cue a few choice curses and an enforced restart.....
