TT Request?

From memory, I can't recall whether there was a chaining issue between Leam and Banbury (Marylebone) depending on the eras. The various threads on the forum might confirm or prove otherwise.

I'm not sure what you are asking for here. Leamington has a 2009 TT available, as does Saltley. Should this be in the Marylebone forum?

But more importantly Marylebone has been (partly) resignalled since 2009, and the sim represents the newer layout - the changes can probably be worked around, but it won’t work perfectly, they’ll have to be some tweaks/compromises to get it to work on the new layout.

we now have just one era which (this isn't intended as a whine) does simulate a very weird moment in time, where the work to connect up to Oxford is still very much in progress. That work has been finished for a while and it just seems a slightly strange era to stick on, for it represents neither the now completed link between Oxford and Marylbone, nor the old era from the days before East West Rail and Bicester South Junction and the Bicester South West Chord and everything else as represented on the Oxford sim and the old 2013 era for Marylebone. Just seems a strange moment in time to have simulated as the only era and a tricky one for timetablers I'm sure.

Um, there are still four eras. As for why the last era is the single line to Oxford, well that's because that is the last update that Chiltern paid for - so you have Chiltern to thank for the subsequent updates which may not have otherwise happened.

Sorry Geoff I do apologise, there are of course three eras, but correct me if my memory is letting me down again, I seem to remember when it was released it had a 2013 era (which was current at the time) and a 2015 extended which featured some proposed changes including a DPL at Marylebone. And I don't think the original 2015 extended layout had the OXD at all. I seem to remember something in the manual about how Marylebone was a first for SimSig in that it simulated a future era.

I believe the original 2015 era with the then-future layout was then replaced by the actual 2015 era which includes the OXD, BSWC, Bicester South Jn etc. and then I apologise of course that hasn't been withdrawn it is still there as well as the very very similar 2016 era which does simulate an updated Banbury and the WMSC, I do apologise. I never play the 2016 era.
