I don't think your prediction will be right in the end. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

You're doubting the logic, yet your next sentence states the logic. They are essentially new locos and will follow the bell curve. Most failures at the start and end of life. I'm sure they'll be good locos in the long run. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I haven't been to a lot of the stations mentioned on here but can vouch for Wemyss Bay. https://flic.kr/p/pQCLge https://flic.kr/p/quXZtX https://flic.kr/p/AazdZC Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

What are the perceived advantages of guided bus routes? I find drivers generally do a good job of steering so not sure why they don't just make this a standard bus lane. Only thing I can think of is less tarmac to make the lane cheaper (due to the grass in the middle) but then the kerbs must be...

Yes these are tourist day time trains, fine. We're talking about a sleeper train. It's primary function is to allow people to sleep and arrive at their destination having slept well. I seriously doubt even 50% of passengers might even consider opening a window. Morning coffee and getting...

Opening windows add weight (admittedly marginal) and cost. Probably the main reason for not having them. Then there's the safety issue, OK not massive but it is an avoidable risk. Then there's the cabin environment, noise and climate control. Not worth taking photos on the vast majority of the...

I don't get these comments that are always banded about - trains sitting idle for a while surely can't be that big an issue? As long as the batteries aren't left to drain (do depots use trickle charge?) and water ingress is prevented what's the problem?

I would be careful here, like it has been said before he works on it in his spare time. I think some suggestions are pretty fanciful, and the signalling is UK specific (focusing on upgrades for the UK may not be Mackoy's primary interest or in the best interests of the program). If you are sure...

Yeah, I had a beta version of BVE before BVE 4 was released. I'm sure that beta was BVE 2.9, which like you say was very similar to BVE 4.

BVE 4 is most definately a succession to BVE 2.x. There are general rules which are followed by programmers when updating software. I'm not sure exactly what the rules are but from 2 to 4 will include major changes to the program. A change in number to the right of the decimal point would be...

Thanks!

Hi all. On the Ayr to Glasgow line I noticed at least two triangular signs that are yellow, with a black border and black exclamation mark "!" in the middle (if I remember correctly). Underneath the triangle it says "signal ahead". The sign seems quite a distance away from the actual signal...
