For those dedicated enough to be awake, should we be expecting a midnight release on the 24th? (Or possibly 00:01, as train timetables don't do midnight!)

(Or possibly 00:01, as train timetables don't do midnight!)Insurance companies, amongst others, don't like 00:00/midnight as it's not obvious which end of the day it is! The sim will be released during the day sometime - no specific time as yet. SimSig Boss Log in to reply The following users said thank you: bri2808, JamesN |

What era has Newport been modelled on? Only ask as there's 1 inaccuracy with the trackwork on the East triangle!

The Cwmbran-East Usk curve of the triangle is single-line. Not sure if it's bi-di or not, but it has been single-line for a few years now!

Sources would be hard without me going on a pointless rail journey to grab a photo as we pass - but I used to pass it almost weekly travelling to/from the DFR
