wouldn't it be great if someone made a london underground SimSig????

Already have the Victoria line and Waterloo and City. Plus Marlylebone has the met line from Harrow to Amersham.

Plus the Bakerloo line from Queens Park- Harrow & Wealdstone on Wembley Suburban.

I have it in mind to do the sub-surface network at some point. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

I don't know what the process is like for creating a sim, I guess it might be a bit easier once the colour light signals have all gone and the boxes have been decommissioned as LU might be a bit more forthcoming with information, but I assume it's easier if you can actually visit a working signal box/control room - in which case time is of the essence! The SSR has already changed a lot and will look very different in a few years' time. Log in to reply |

There's probably still a good 15-18 months before the first box closes. Many years before (if) the last one shuts. However one thing that is unlikely to change is LU's views on releasing the information.

However one thing that is unlikely to change is LU's views on releasing the information.However, if (IF!!!) signal positions can be established, it is possible to calculate overlaps (and therefore at least some of the likely TC breaks). If I get chance over the Christmas break I'll look up the formula (it's in OS Nock's book that was written for - mainly - budding signal engineers, but facinating for us non-professionals as well). Likewise it should be possible to get a reasonable idea of likely TC breaks on the approach to closing-up signals, on the basis of signal behaviour as trains approach (and I suspect they tend to be fairly standard anyway). Probably not possible to do it to the usual level of Simsig pedantry (sorry, accuracy) but should be possible to create a 'good-enough' version.

I travelled quite a bit yesterday in Zone 1 using the Underground, it would be good if the Northern Line or the Jubilee line got done especially as the latter has a train every 2 minutes so would keep you on your toes if something went wrong

I presume it wouldn't be possible to create an up-to-date VicLUL sim?

As far as the Jubilee and Northern are concerned, as much as their service frequency is high, there really isn't that much to keep you occupied until things go wrong. Even then the current system does a lot of the work for you. There are very few flat junctions to cause conflict, and most of their service simply shuttles backwards and forwards from one end to the other. As far as the Victoria Line goes, not a great deal has changed as far as what can be simulated in SimSig. I have the beginnings of a 2016 timetable - which I may finish at some point - and the sim as it stands can run it more or less ok. If SimSig were able to realistically reproduce the new Victoria Line system (which it cannot) then once again until things went wrong there wouldn't be a lot for anyone to be kept occupied by. And even when things go wrong it's all dealt with a little differently to how other NR areas are dealt with. Log in to reply |
