Simsig Swindon A and B

Western Region

Introduction

Swindon A & B is a combination of Swindon B IECC (controlling Didcot) and Swindon PSB. Together, they control around 60 miles of the Great Western Main Line, from just East of Didcot to Box and Chipping Sodbury. Passenger traffic is mostly inter-city passenger, with some local traffic to Oxford. Fighting for paths is coal traffic between Bristol and Didcot PSB, and north-south container trains between Oxford and Reading. This is another simulation where careful planning and good regulation is needed to keep the area flowing- don’t just rely on ARS!

Swindon A & B is currently free to download and play, although Donations are gratefully received.
