Preston Meet, Saturday 16th June

Thanks for that, as long as I manage to get Myself to Haymarket for 22:30 Then we're all good. Plenty of trains up from Preston for that. :)

Or maybe I was just checking out the handover for trains to/from the Motherwell sim for a 2009 TT along with the supplied 2006 TT. Or maybe there's a new Cumbrian Coast sim on the way that needed a bit of research. Or maybe there's a new G&SW sim on the way which again needed the handovers checking. Or maybe it was checking the consistency of the coal and empties TTs to/from the various Ayrshire loading points for a 2009 Paisley TT.

Anyway, back to the TT I am currently trying to get into suitable state for release. . . .

If I was proved correct then another thing I wouldn't mind seeing with that would be a sim to cover Blackpool North and Blackpool South plus the lines through Kirkham & Wesham etc. from which the lines to the Blackpool termini extend. I would hope for options for AB or TCB as well as pre-2018 layout or the current layout if such a sim ever came to fruition. Just like other sims on my personal wishlist (Doncaster, Yoker IECC, etc. etc.)

You could probably save yourself a lot of effort if you just listed the sims you didn't want to see [.....]

And if the meet couldn't get any better I can now confirm the following...

Though not planned for release in the near - medium future, Preston and Warrington will be the two meet simulations. Depending on progress Manchester Piccadilly may join the chain, or we may run a third completely unrelated simulation.

For those who have asked about the bus from the station to the railway...

Buses will run on the hour from 11:00 - 22:00 from the station to the railway.
Buses will run on the half hour 11:30 - 22:30 from the railway to the station.

For those developing the two great WCML PSBs, may I put in pleas for eras beyond the obvious 2015 one? Specifically:
Warrington PSB including the Sutton Oak link from St Helens Jn (a busy line in the box's early days) and the Haydock oil branch and original layout south of Wigan which made life rather harder than now.
Preston having the early layout with single leads at Euxton Jn and the Longridge branch.

Both simulations are already 3 era enabled (1980, 2000, 2010) although some details still to be fully researched/implemented.
PN - 3 layouts at Euxton Jn, 33 GFs(!), changes at Lancaster, Colne branch x 3, Bare Lane x 3, Deepdale Bch.

Was hoping for a 2018 Post May Era which would be the same as 2010 era at guess but adding in electrification for Up/Dn Fylde Line but still this sound very interesting

Better than no Preston sim though 'eh...
