Salisbury

Southern Region

Introduction

Salisbury controls nearly 30 miles of the South West mainline between Andover and Gillingham, and a similar length of line between Warminster and Romsey.

The single line towards Gillingham is controlled by Tokenless Block.

Traffic in the area is a mixture of long-distance passenger services, and freight traffic, most of which is aggregates from terminals in the Westbury area. A 1980s timetable is included, which sees more traffic serving the various sidings in the Salisbury area.

Salisbury is a Payware simulation - to play beyond a short demo period requires the purchase of a license from the Shop .

Credits

My thanks must go to:-

Geoff Mayo, for allowing me the privilege of becoming a developer, and Peter Bennet for showing me the basics of sim construction;

Chris Lord (aka LardyBiker) for allowing me to assist on developing his next sim after South Humberside and teaching me how sims are built;

Howard Potter and Paul Curran for patiently doing many sim compilations, and guidance on bugs and fixes;
Noel Young and Pascal Nadin for the TTs without too much gratuitous shunting (so far!);
Kev Meredith for ably testing the simulation and TTs, not only for testing but advice on layout and features.
The rest of our testing team, Neil B, Matt C, Mark J, Dave McC, Jameses N & W, Ben W.
Danny Scroggins for permission to use his photographs of the panel.
James Underwood, for most of the splash shots.
Anyone else I've unintentionally overlooked.
