Would it be possible for sim folder names to be kept reasonably easy to understand and decipher? Over time there seems to have been a decrease in the number of characters each Sim is allocated, and Simsig has now reached the stage where users have to decipher codenames like "leedsa" and "warm" to install timetables or load saved games. However, there are examples that show that both capital letters ("Salisbury" ) and underscores ("north_wales_coast" ) work correctly!

(Even after a couple of minutes of thinking, I can't work out what the "RM" in "WARM" stand for)

West Anglian Route Modernisation.

But I can't help on the rest of the post.
