Does anyone have a speed limits map for the Crewe sim? I can't find one on the Wiki. With Crewe relying so much on regulation and if you have delays/failures turned on, you can end up making a lot of interesting decisions and trying to put trains into the right order etc. Sadly though with no speed limit information, it's rather hard to do the right thing. I notice that sadly Crewe doesn't have a speed limit map and so I am struggling at times to know what is the quickest route for a train. I have tried a few different ways but with each train it seems to act differently.

Anyone able to assist?

Thank you in advance.

Hope this helps, this is a brief outline of speeds through Crewe

Independent Lines - 10MPH
Fast Lines (Excluding Crewe) - 110MPH, EPS 125MPH over much of this
Slow Lines (South of Crewe) - 100MPH
Slow Lines (North of Crewe) + Main Lines north of Winsford - 75MPH
Crewe Station Up & Down Fast lines - 85MPH
Crewe Station over all pointwork, 20MPH (Except where there are flashing yellows where speeds may be between 50 & 60MPH)
Up & Down Liverpool, 85MPH, with EPSD / EPSE 90/100 in places
Gresty Lane - 70. Loops, sidings etc 15

There will likely be a few exceptions to what I've put here

Hi James, Thank you for this, it is helpful.

My issues are mostly Basford Hall and Winsford - Coal Yards. Sometimes if I want/need to reorder trains it seems to take forever to switch trains from fast to slow lines (and vice versa)
For example a train from Coal Yards junction going onto the slow seems to be significantly quicker at getting to Winsford versus using the DS-DF points and the use the fast line. UF-US points to at Coal Yards jct seems to take so long for a train to go over it, especially in comparison to Winsford whereby its so quick them going over the points.

Also around Basford Hall, the time to put a train from the fast onto the slow seems to take forever. Almost as if it's quicker to have 3 trains in a queue on the fasts than it is to route one onto the slow (which for P7/8/11/12 trains has the added benefit with conflicting movements but seems to be stupidly slow).
