Hello all,

I have submitted my Exeter Summer 2011 Semi-Fictional TT to the admins for approval, should be up soon. This is Semi-Fictional as it is a diversions TT with times done myself. Also, a couple of engineers trains and a test train are included in the morning to fill a small gap, though is still a bit empty in the AM.

I must thank NoiseyNoel for his assistance for some times, it is much appreciated for the help!

This is 1 timetable of a few. Neighbouring sims of Westbury and Bristol are being tested and once these are out, you can chain them together. The 2011 TT will expand to 6 other simulations too.
However, Bristol doesn't need chaining as nothing passes through the boundary.

All trains have length and running numbers included, which was some mission to plan out but I did it, mainly for a challenge!

Anyway here is the blurb from the TT description box to see if it's something you'll like or not:

--------------------------------------

EXETER 2011 SUMMER (SEMI-FICTIONAL) V1.0

======================================

It's a Summer Saturday, and there are planned engineering works in the Uffington area today. So, all HST's are diverted via the Berks and Hants, with a reduced and altered service on some Bristol TM trains. Through Devon/Cornwall services usually booked via Bristol will run under 1Zxx as for today they will be diverted and re-timed to run via Castle Cary instead.

However, there are unplanned diverions on too as there is a landslide between Highbridge & Burnham and Bridgwater that happened last night and unfortunately it will not be resolved today either, so most trains booked to run up to Bristol will be diverted via Westbury with no altered times. This means you'll have delayed CrossCountry trains entering at Castle Cary.

It's also Mazey Day too, and two railtours were originally booked to run direct from Bristol, but are diverted via Westbury and will thus be running late. It's up to you to slot them between services and not delay other passenger services at the same time...might be more fun with the delay sliders up some more!

Passenger times taken from the FGW TT's 2011.
A HUGE thank's goes to Noiseynoel for helping out with the ECS moves, very grateful for that, thank you Noel!

----------------------------------------------------------

It is easy for 1 player too, though more can be involved if there are delays set.

Any comments or issues would be welcome, note there are a couple of timing errors left intenionally in so I wouldn't report time errors, only if I've given a train a rather silly tight time to get from A-B (like Chippenham to Thingley in 30 seconds or something) however I have given it a test and it *should* be ok.

Anything else you think could be included, I would be interested to hear reasonable ideas too, especially to fill the gaps from 4am.


Cheers,

James.
