Hey! Forgive me if this has been brought up before (I did look before posting this thread). Pontypridd has 3 active platforms as of December 2014. Platform 1 is not featured in the simulation but is used quite frequently nowadays. Does the Cardiff Valley simulation continue to receive updates from the developer? Thanks! Love the intricacies of the real-life railway and associates token systems which are captured in this simulation. Log in to reply |

Cardiff Valleys still gets updates for any bug fixes etc. The simulation (Along with all of the South Wales series) is based before CARS (Cardiff Area Resignalling Scheme) which is why Pontypridd platform 1 isn't included.

To be fair to Pedro it would have been much easier to redo Manchester North as a new sim, instead of adding the extension and era. Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!! Log in to reply |

(EDIT) Central Scotland and Cowlairs were updated as the EGIP scheme progressed, and King's Cross gained a 2013-2017 era. But none of these constituted an entire resignalling where every signal changed identity or was moved. AJP in games Last edited: 04/01/2022 at 13:32 by Albert Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I wrote a post here as to why the four track Filton Bank (Take 2 the modern version) isn't planned to be included on the Bristol PSB simulation. The same reasons carry through to why CARS (Cardiff Area ReSignalling) isn't included in an era in any of the South Wales simulations, way too much changes for it to be sensible, especially things like geographical limits. For example what was Bargoed, Ystrad Mynach, and Heath Junction on the Valleys simulation, become part of what was the Taff panel on the Cardiff simulation, which in turn loses part of it's area to the Vale of Glamorgan workstation which includes all of the VOG simulation and more.

Yes, it has Central in the name and it's near Glasgow ;) There's too much happening on some parts of the network. If the railways were only being remodelled every few decades, it'd be easier to keep up with it, but King's Cross has seen major changes about every year until it got resignalled lately and to a lesser extent this is currently happening in the Exeter area as well. I think sims that remained representative for a longer period of time are the exception rather than the rule, and mostly constitute quiet or small areas. AJP in games Log in to reply |
