Oxted

Southern Region

Introduction

One of the smaller boxes in the Southern Region, Oxted controls the commuter line to East Grinstead, and the non-electrified branch line to Uckfield. While the area is fairly simple, there are quite a few unusual features to keep the operator entertained, and the single-track Uckfield line can present a regulating challenge if delays are prevalent.

Oxted is free to download and play, although Donations are gratefully received.
