    Is Trainz worth a look?

    Thank you for these suggestions. I will put these forward when I think there is a quiet time (I.e. a lull between the endless US content ) , and at a moment when there is more of a chance of them being looked at rather than being put on a long list of things for the far future.

    Is Trainz worth a look?

    Many thanks, I will forward that kuid on and suggest those other items by Dundun92. I'm actually aware of them as saw them in the Trainz forums. I have to hope it's possible to optimise for mobile.

    Is Trainz worth a look?

    Oh gosh, that looks really good. You don't have a kuid by any chance do you? I could put a request in to see if it can be included and optimised for mobile. I do like the 37 models in terms of their details, and I love the driving cabs too. Including a real life pic taken last year at Waterloo...

    Is Trainz worth a look?

    I'll see what I can do regarding the class 06 :), won't be tonight anymore however. Although I think there maybe a better existing screenshot I can still locate 1709585326 So these are the existing shots, I'll aim to do some action shots over the next days

    Is Trainz worth a look?

    Many thanks for the info. Yes the 68's do look very good in the game. The Scottish livery features in the re mastered Scottish Highlands route which is actually very good. With the shunter, I do agree and really hope we get an updated version in the mobile game soon. I love all the sounds...

    Is Trainz worth a look?

    Ha... yes the 06 is a noisy thing! The 68's are too, but I know that is very realistic and one of the reasons why the TPE 68's got withdrawn from service. Yes, the Flirt's and 42's are great. I am concerned about the future , European content isn't selling well apparently and there has been a...

    Is Trainz worth a look?

    I play the latest mobile version of the game Trainz Simulator 3. The class 68's and 70's above are included in the game, along with the 755 Flirt !!! Some nice detailed class 37 models , however the textures are dated. Included with the remastered Rosworth Vale route are some brand new Ealnos...

    Guards during strikes

    I'm sure I've heard stories where on the tube drivers went on strike because of a driver who got sacked for what sounded like a major demeanour. Obviously I'm being very vague here, and am probably basing this just on what I've read in a right wing newspaper or something.

    Guards during strikes

    Just carrying on from what I've said above, I do appreciate that there are many many damn good guards. Unfortunately there is a significant minority who let them and everyone else down.

    Guards during strikes

    I agree with the principle of having a guard on EVERY train, and the guards fighting for their jobs striking if necessary. Expecting the public to put their own lives on hold and boycotting the railway is a completely different matter however, and there is an element of the RMT taking the...

    Guards during strikes

    I do agree with that. Unfortunately there is a bit of a culture on the railways whereby people want a simple life, and reporting a guard for making gash announcements/being invisible would amount to complicating their daily routine. I think wanting to get rid of guards is ultimately ideological...

    Guards during strikes

    I couldn't agree more with you. I am passionately for having a guard on every train, however too many guards really do not help themselves. It is these guards who are poor, lazy who also tend to be the most militant ie finding any reason not to work a train. The thing is if the company tried to...

    Guards during strikes

    This is how interpreted it also

    Guards during strikes

    Well here you can get locally by public transport, however the roads/busses are generally ridiculously busy. Personally if it's possible to get the train that's what I'd do (if I was unable to travel door to door with my own car).
