    Playing Dee-Kay Systems Railway simulators on a ZX Spectrum Emulator?

    I'm playing it via a ZX Spectrum Emulator on my 3DS games console of all things. I've also got a Spectrum emulator on my Android tablet too. I would think that the PC and Spectrum versions are pretty much the same.

    Playing Dee-Kay Systems Railway simulators on a ZX Spectrum Emulator?

    I know that at terminal stations such as Penzance a train departs and you press p (platform no) and the loco moves to the end of platform. I'm playing 1990 Powerbox Carlisle, where it's a through station, the train arrives in Carlisle from Euston and it says shunter req. This is where I'm...

    What do you (dis-)like most about train travel within the UK?

    Excessive fares. I found a return fare from Manchester to Euston that cost more than a return flight from Manchester to New York JFK via London Heathrow.

    Bit of a long shot?

    Does anybody remember playing Dee Kay Systems and Ashley Greenup railway simulations on either the ZX Spectrum, C64, Amiga & Atari ST? I've found a game I used to play that is RTC Penzance, but I'm a bit stuck. You have to move empty stock into the el via the shunter, you then run round...

    TS2014 & Windows 8.1 Tablet PC?

    Would TS2014 play on a full Windows 8.1 Tablet PC? I know it wouldn't work a RT Surface as it app based rather than a full version of Windows 8.1 you can get on tablets.

    Todmorden Curve

    It's been a complete shambles. If this had been in the South or South East, they would've made sure it was finished and had available trains to run over the route. From what I'm led to believe it's going to be May next year because they need to put 3 signals in for the curve. Also will the...
