I have submitted the King's Cross September 2020 (Mondays to Fridays) timetable, optimised for sim 3.7.

Operating restrictions:
* Thameslink services enter / leave simulation via King's Cross Goods (and will now get a phone call from shunter, unfortunately)
* Trains booked to leave Hornsey Depot via country end and reverse via Hornsey Up Carr Line enter via Bounds Green Depot (south) instead
* Trains booked to enter Hornsey Depot via country end must be routed via Alexandra Palace platform 2
* Trains booked to reverse via Stevenage platform 5 reverse Langley Junction instead (this will require some working around for any freight trains due to pass whilst the reversing move occurs)

Note this timetable existed during a time of considerably upheaval for the railway. As such there are a few issues in the real thing, which have been left in for authenticity. In particular there are a number of platform conflicts at King's Cross, which will need to be worked round.

Having completed testing September 2020, I can now get round to testing December 2020, which has been completed for some time. Unfortunately some unexpected domestic issues have meant I haven’t had much time recently, which is why both these timetables are quite a bit later than I expected. Better late than never though!

Can I ask what the changes are since the previous uploaded version?

I've noticed in the description it's described as the May 2020 timetable rather than September (I assume i'm looking at the correct file?)

The May 2020 timetable was the full weekday service which never happened in reality due to Covid.

The September timetable is the Covid “back to work” timetable. It essentially offers a Saturday GTR service with some peak extras (but nothing like the full timetable), and a slimmed down LNER timetable. Limited open access service.
