Have a look at the July meet thread, and Geoff's post announcing the meet sims.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Didn't realise that Derby had a 'D' box..........lol.

Seriously though I just tried to go into the donations page (Got a 404 error) to try and make a donation as suggested in other mails, to what I am sure will be another excellent addition to the family. You can be rest assured that I will keep trying. On my rotational leave back to the UK at the end of July and looking forward to playing at 35,000 feet......the Derby sim that is.....

1803 posts 		Saltley is a'coming? SALTLEY? Does this mean that at some point we all get a go on "Saltley South Top Panel" and can have an interesting chat with the driver of 2R43.... :lol:

Being serious though, I'd like to say many thanks in advance [of the release of these simulations] to the developers, testers, and all involved in some way in these undoubtedly excellent simulations.

I certainly know of at least one person who will surely enjoy Derby - but need I say any more or drop any names/usernames (it should be blindingly obvious)?!!

906 posts 		Now we'd just need a Doncaster sim (and have Euston, and Birmingham New Street released) and you could do a really big chain along the lines of:
Euston - Wembley Suburban - NLL - King's Cross - Cambridge - Peterborough - Doncaster - South Humberside - Worksop - Sheffield - Trent - Derby - Saltley - BNS - Saltley - Gloucester - Bristol - Swindon A&B - Westbury - Bristol - Exeter, involving 19 simulations. Getting matching timetables for all those sims would already be a major act, though.
Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick.

However, you would probably want multiple hosters as I doubt one machine would cope well with all the traffic for all those sims.

2659 posts 		Well done to Darren G & Howard P for getting these 2 excellent sims to the stage of being released. Since I last spoke to Darren G at the last Derby meet I've nearly completed a timetable for Saltley based on 1995-1996(Loadhaul, Transrail, Mainline Freight, RfD, Freightliner '95 & RES era). This timetable should be ready for the London meet for those interested in timetables earlier than the 2009 one.
