Speculation (was: October 15th 2016 Meet in London)

I will be interested to learn what those reasons are: I wonder if we will see another London sim in connection with this.

I'm wondering if Geoff has a direct interest in it being the specified date.

Hmmm. A sim release perhaps. Although I may be on completely the wrong track, and possibly hoping beyond hope, I note that Holborn is not far from the station at Charing Cross which - in terms of its signalling - is, I believe, under the control of London Bridge.....

Actually Charing Cross is under Three bridges ROC

Three Bridges ROC since early this year.

BVE, are you confusing Three Bridges ASC (panel opened in the early 80s) with Three Bridges ROC (the new 'mega-box')?

And why does it say that I started this topic when in fact Geoff did?

Because everyone started wibbling and frothing over things completely irrelevant to the discussion of the meet, so it was split into a new thread.

I mean really, post 2 and it had to be because a new sim was being released :lol:

Because you wrote the first post!

But that is maybe a bit unfair because there is still an irrelevant item from another poster in the original topic which prompted TheBVE2010's comment. The old saying about "speculate to accumulate" seems to have been subverted by the internet generation to "speculate to accumulate pages and pages of irrelevant waffle".

Grumpy old man signing off now.

5 Month's notice of a precise release date of a new sim: really?

Saw no harm in a bit of guesswork. :)

Just to push the wibble to full grade, 15th October 1889 appears to be the opening date of Amsterdam Central station... Clearly we are getting an Amsterdam Sim! Clogs not included.

As if to add more fuel to the speculation fire, and at that to connect it with JC92's post, it is being planned - or so I believe - for Eurostar to run from St. Pancras International to Amsterdam Centra(a)l, via. Brussels and Schiphol, at some point in the next few years.....

And a quick Google rather than a quick waffle would have enabled you to give chapter and verse (http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/high-speed/single-view/view/eurostar-plans-details-of-london-amsterdam-service.html)
