Regarding Eurostar's lowering Pantograph's on the move , prior to HS1 days , they had to lower pantographs shortly after leaving the tunnel when back on UK soil. However I do recall on one , maybe two occasions where a driver forgot to lower the pantograph. I'm sure a Eurostar or 2 lost...

In the World Editor , you need to make sure the green arrow's on the coaches point towards the First Class end of the train. That way , the coaches will be in the correct position. If its a scenario that you've downloaded from Steam Workshop then it looks like the person that created it didn't...

Yes Welshman , thats correct. Roundabout 1960/61 when they were introduced there was major issues with them. I believe a member of traincrew was either seriously injured or killed when something located in the Guards Van overheated and exploded leaving a rather large hole within the van. There's...

Just been having a chat with a friend and it came to us that 10 Years ago this month , the Famous Glasgow Blue Trains , AM3 later Class 303 units were withdrawn from Service. I still remember that day they bowed out , It was a nice send off for the units. I know its happened over the last 10...

In the good old days , loco swaps were done at Mossend with the change from electric to diesel (northbound) and reverse in the southbound direction. Usually routed via Coatbridge , Springburn , Ashfield and Westerton. Before that it divided at Mossend with a portion going to Queen Street tacking...

A classic line i remember and it still makes me chuckle was Kent Brockman reporting on Mr Burn's shooting along the lines of "thousands of people are gunned down every day in springfield , none are as important as this one"

The Final Instalment of my 3 Day rover Tuesday 1st May A trusty trip into Glasgow was assured by Bus into Glasgow , however my plan had changed 3 times by the time I got into Glasgow. I arrived at Glasgow Queen Street at around 10:40 thinking a move to Edinburgh on the 10:45 departure...

Time for a report from me after a trip with a Central Scotland Rover. Started off Yesterday , 28th April. A Bus Run into Glasgow ensued with the usual shoppers etc at 9am. Arrived into a fairly cool but sunny City Centre and headed to Queen St to collect the ticket. Started out...

Croy (west via the mainline) , cumbernauld (via the branch) or camelon (heading to edinburgh)

There's a hotel beside the station , the name of it escapes me. Couple down the road if you leave the station via the main entrance and walk up the approach road , turn left and walk down the hill there is a couple , the ashwood hotel springs to mind.

The way to solve that is clear the blueprint cache. Its done through the launch page. I think its on the tools tab. Make sure you've not run the game as the button marked "clear blueprint cache" will not appear clickable if you do. Then you'll find the passengers return to their seats

Birmingham New Street is where all/majority of cross country services reverse. Been a bygone scene since BR days

I had a look at First Scotrail's website and there was nothing about the car parking facilities that i could see (browsing via my phone) , nothing mentioned. I can say the car park is big but not sure if it's P&R or pay and display. Scotrail usually have free parking with the exception of...

Always best to ensure things are in tiptop condition before testing then any bugs found get found by the testing team therefore ensuring that your material is of high quality and then replies will be of praise. Good luck in the project

For goodness sake chaps , lets BEEF this one up had have a right CALF for a change!

There is a station with a short platform between Loughborough and Derby i believe it's Long Eaton. It's only big enough for 3 HST vehicles as i mind being on one stopping there and it was announced that anyone wishing to alight needed to move to the front 3 coaches to alight. Quite amusing...

Looks very good so far. Only thing i'd say is the pantograph well looks a shade longer than i thought (going by the 2nd image) but all in all , looks good. Look forward to seeing it in all it's glory.

I remember once travelling back from Carlisle to Glasgow Central summer before last. Bank holiday extra on a friday. Got on , stopped Lockerbie , Motherwell and Glasgow. Never noticed anyone else on the train. Guard did the usual speech approaching GLC and then walked up and said "that...
