    Minimum computer requirements for BVE ?

    BVE won't work with Vista if you have separate graphics - it may not work with XP if it is the latest Nvidia card.

    Class 180's to.....Northern?

    I was on a 180 at the weekend and the train suddenly stopped outside Didcot. A few minutes later the PA comes on and apparently a child had pulled the emergency alarm and they couldn't reset it :roll: After a few minutes of staff walking up and down the train it got going again. This was in...

    Platform Screen Doors at National Rail Stations?

    It's a problem throughout the Underground, but when they designed the Jubilee Line Extension they could implement a solution.

    BVE Frames down to rock bottom

    Try the 163.75 driver set - these will allow BVE to work properly. Then use reschanger to change the BVE window mode to a resolution close to your full screen resolution (BVE and Nvidia cards don't like exiting from full screen)

    Exam season

    Sorry, I meant 25%, the 40% included the Terminal Task. It's a good exam as it's 60% coursework!

    Exam season

    I took that paper and the answers were 5% of the paper - but the bigger picture is that the paper is only 40% of the total GCSE, so it may not be that crucial in the end.

    Train guard threatened with gun on S&C

    Also, if the person with the gun claims it is real when it isn't they are in the eyes of the law carrying a genuine firearm.

    Hidden world of Manchester Victoria

    1972 mkI stock actually :wink: similar but different. They have also used the 1960 Cravens tube stock at Aldwych for filming.

    What's up with the display?

    That happened to me with the most recent Nvidia graphics drivers. anything before 84.21 is recommended but 163.75 are the best recent drivers. Anything newer doesn't work properly.

    What's up with the display?

    My laptop has similar specs (Vista, Nvidia).... and it doesn't work unfortunately! I get the white screen too.

    Too high end?

    I am getting similar things with BVE on a Windows XP PC. I think it is to do with the Dx10 (i.e. geforce 8xxx) graphics cards. It didn't do any of these things when using the integrated graphics. I haven't spent any time sifting through the Nvidia settings yet though.

    depending on which exit you take, under one minute!

    Victoria Line Upgrade

    Metronet are pretty short of cash at the moment.... shame they don't own them! Wait a few years, then spend a lot of money on planning permission and transport! You have to get it from LU first though.

    Crossrail Model Train Pictures

    It's a full size mock up it's the best I could find, I'm afraid. for those interested (from foreground) - cross rail train, Q38 stock, 1938 stock and the 1986 'green train',

    there is a mock up at the LTM Depot of the crossrail train. Mind you, it has been there an awfully long time!

    MoD Kineton

    the 'lick' of paint along with the 'shattered glass' effect on the floors! Mind you, they probably found more than just glass on those trains. Any train left in South Harrow rarely comes out in the same condition it went in.

    plenty did in South Harrow sidings :lol:

    MoD Kineton

    whilst the 1995 stock was being manufactured, Alsthom was able to manufacture more trains than LU could commission and store, so they were stored at various locations whilst they were pending delivery.
