March Meet Simulation Speculation

I'm pleased to say that all three simulations will be available for anyone who attends the meet to play on the day.

As an added bonus, if you attend the meet and are the first person to have guessed one of the simulations on show in this thread, you can claim a free pint off of me.

A pint of milk?

As a responsible retailer of alcohol, a none alcoholic alternative would of course be offered if requested.

A pint of Dihydrogen Monoxide then?

I think this thread is beginning to get watered down........

Better than a pint of Dihydrogen Dioxide

I hope it will be a Cambridge remake to link in with West Anglia, Kings Cross and maybe Peterborough.

I'll offer you a tenner at 6:1 that it isn't.

There must be some way to arbitrage that against the free pint if it is. Do you get a free £10 bet if you are a first time customer?

I thought thee were a Geordie, not a Tyke :-)

I am not a betting man so I would refuse that bet. Saying that one thing I wouldn't mind would be a Cambridge scrolly which included the Ely - Norwich line via. Shippea Hill.

Cambridge scrolly with the addition of the Kings Lynn branch

However if and when Cambridge does get re-released, hopefully it will include the new post 2016 layout at Cambridge which I rather have over extending the sim but that's my personal preference.

You can always tell a Yorkshireman; you just can't tell them much.

Yes you could try the KL branch but that is presumably worked from Kings Lynn Junction and that, I would have thought, would come under a separate simulation. Perhaps a post-2016 era, minus the KL branch but including the Ely to Norwich route and also, as an option for a post-2016 era, the station at Cambridge North.

To be pedant, the Kings Lynn branch is actually worked by multiple signalboxes being:

Cambridge power box
Littleport
Downham Market
Magdalen Road (Watlington)
King's Lynn

As a compromise, why not a new sim fringing with Cambridge at Ely North Junction but with both the Ely to Norwich and the Ely to Kings Lynn lines?

Or just leave it as it is but as a scrolly with a 2016 era?

I'll take a stab at...

East Croydon / Selhurst - I don't know the name the box would have, but it would link Oxted to Victoria SE
