I know that this sim would be difficult due to being under liverpool street iecc, but would it be possible pre-2001 when the line was under control of many box's like bishops stortford, brimsdown, Cheshunt, Broxbourne and the like?

would be interesting to see this done, as this is a VERY busy line.

Oohhh yes!! And the sadists among the developers can code the Westronic that worked (sometimes) Clapton Junction from Hackney Downs, complete with its habit of 'flashing' (brief total failures) when a down Chingford ECS ran through the neutral section under full power

Usual answer: can you provide the detailed data that would be needed?

Give me a couple of week & I'll see what I can come up with. Apart from someone I know who has contacts within Network Rail, if I can contact some of the people I worked with in Liverpool Street control during the early 1990s might be able to come up eityh something. I'll trawl through my collection of signalling notices to see if I have any relevant schematics.

Trains from the harbour do not enter as timetabled. When I look into it says no path between Ardrossan Town and Ardrossan South beach.

I cannot find which location is missing.

Cambridge is part of West Anglia route. Unless you want a bit of London.
Class 150/2 approaching towards Welshpool. Wrong train you got, only 158's are fitted with ERTMS.

Thinking of Cambridge I wouldn't say no to the addition, if it one day became possible, of Ely - Norwich via. Attleborough post resignalling. That could, in turn, give rise to a chain (East Anglia - London Kings Cross) if Norwich - Great Yarmouth & Lowestoft were ever done as a one-player in the future.

Just a thought.

Dave

EDIT: Having said that there are not many signals on the Ely - Norwich route.

I've got some information, so it might happen when I do the conversion to Loader.

There's more signals there than you'd think! Before the resignalling, there were nine mechanical boxes, and all but two supervising Level Crossings.

The Norwich end of the line would likely form part of a Colchester simulation (Conflict of Interest permitting), then as you say a Norwich (exclusive)- Sherringham, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft simulation. Incidentally, my holiday this year was (partly) based around the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft lines. In terms of signalling, it's fantastic- plenty of boxes and plenty of semaphores. Be sure to visit before they go.

When that happens it happens. But I will look forward to it.
