Forthcoming Timetables

Birmingham New Street summer 1990 TT is now under test. This TT is exetremly challenging & if you play it solo you will struggle to keep everything moving. Currently there are 1,191 trains in the TT, but this number may change before release...

Wow. You've been busy. Is tt writing one of your hobbies?

Writing timetables has become a thing of joyness to me, I like writing them and then letting everyone else have a share of the timetables I do make. 9 Years of been a SimSig member is a great achievement in my eyes. Plus with all this Pandemic I haven't been fully utilised and working from home, I enjoy every moment of SimSig.

Its has to be a labour of love - Since Headshot asked me to produce TT's for his early sims, I've lost count of the number of TT's I've pushed out over the past few years.

Well, I really admire you two guys and of course all of the other tt writers and the developers.

You give me endless hours of satisfaction whilst playing the various sims.

One thing that I really like about the latest sim release, Doncaster South, is the ability to turn TORR off. I find it much more interesting especially with delays and failures set up a bit.

Doncaster South is a lot more interesting than I expected. There is so much variation in service that you really have to read and memorise relevant points of several trains' schedules at once - does it stop at Retford, which order is Newark Flat Crossing, can I let that freight run early to the next loop... etc

I'm hoping we're going to get some 80s timetables too. Probably fewer passenger trains, but likely more freight - if not on Doncaster South then definitely Station and North.

The first set of timetables I will write for the Doncaster sims will be a 1991 TT to chain with West Yorkshire & York North/South 1991 TTs, although some updating will be required on those. But with regards to the 1980s I've started a Tyneside 1987-1988 TT & will continue that southwards at some point taking in York North/South, West Yorkshire, Peterborough & the Doncaster sims too. I've got an MGR coal plan too that covers the late 1980s as well as some MGR coal plans f0r the Worksop & East Midlands areas. As already mentioned on here the majority of MGR trains run as trips & coal plans changed every week subject to the amount of coal required by the power stations to produce electricty & the amount of coal collieries could produce & no coal plan was identical as the tonnages changed weekly. Some MGR workings such as those from the East & West Midlands do appear in the WTTs & there's quite alot of them in the summer 1990 TTs I'm currently writing. But as ever these BR era TTs take a long time to write & test so users are going to have to bear with me on this one. That said the Birmingham New Street summer 1990 TT is still under test & atm I'm writing Coventry summer 1990 to chain with New Street, then it will be Wolverhampton summer 1990 & lastly Saltley summer 1990. But I can assure users that there is plenty of freight traffic on the summer 1990 TTs, probably alot more than you think if you were around then.
