So there is someone I watch on YouTube who drives the Picadilly Line and would really love to be able to do signaling for it in the sim. What are the chances of this route being made for the sim? I'm not from the UK and still new to the sim so I don't know how often new lines are released. Thanks Log in to reply |

Simulations of the Victoria line and the Waterloo and City line area available. Apart from that, the development team never comments on future plans. I am curious what you would consider the attractions of operating signalling on metro lines. 99% of trains go from one end of the line to the other, change round and come back again. Isn't that rather tedious? Log in to reply |

To be fair, the Piccadilly line does have a few different destinations. I did the Victoria line more out if curiosity as i (then) used it every day. It does chain to an embryonic Piccadilly line Sim but that's all. I have no plans to go any further than that. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Isn't that rather tedious? Managing the service during and after perturbations would provide some interest I guess, even if Simsig isn't perfectly made for that use-case (limited amount of incidents provided [1], no tracking of rolling stock available in depots, no simulation of driver's turns, etc.) [1] Although the Victoria line sim does try to add a few metro-specific incidents. Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick. Log in to reply |

Jan in post 159887 said:. . . .no simulation of driver's turns. . . . .If the TT writer has details of the driver rostering that can be covered by putting in appropriate rules. For example if a driver comes off one train for a break then the next train he is due to work cannot depart until that break time (plus whatever time is allowed for closing down, travelling to rest facilities, setting up etc) has elapsed from the arrival of the first train. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: Today at 22:21 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |
