Travelled on this route "for real" for the first time on Wednesday, after many simulated runs courtesy of BVE! Have to say how even more impressed I am now with the accuracy of the BVE route. Brilliant! :o

Indeed! When I first did X-City I recognised it like it been something like Deja Vu! :)

Great work Antony and look forward to WCML and X-City North! :)

I had dropped my students at Cadburys for a tour - I've done it about 10 times now so was determined to do something different with the day. They had 2 other tutors with them so did not feel guilty at all about disappearing for a few hours. Drove the minibus from Bourneville to Redditch in about half an hour and then spent 20 minutes looking for somewhere to park before settling for the £3.50 station car park! A £4 return to New Street was good value & there was a Christmas market to look round before returning. Great day out but so much more cost-effective with BVE!!

Happy Christmas all and a great big THANK YOU to those who provide these routes for our everlasting pleasure!

Antony hasn't stopped Development of WCML or X-City North. He stated that the screenshots of the super-detailed Watford - Rugby route was purely to see how BVE would perform. Sadly it could only achieve around 2FPS - 5FPS. He did also say that the detail would be similar to X-City South detail. Which IMHO is the best detail for any BVE route. :)

Hmm... New Version of BVE? BVE 5? Anyway I guess mackoy will be busy with his work instead of BVE, don't forget he need to work to pay for hosting! Anyway take a look at the BVE 4 Page at mackoy page, does that hint something? ;)

Maybe the site has been changed to a festive green/red to match the winter tram scene?
