Moderator: senjer

Do you want to be able to run tube trains on the line to Ongar again?

Yes, from Epping to Ongar, so occiasional tube trains, or 'full-tube-service' are possibilities.

Yes, but only halfway; no further then North Weald.

No, I'd rather have it un-electrified as is exists in reality.

trains 500 wrote: 24 Mar 2021, 17:38 why on the activites are the central line at 10 minute intervals in reality trains going to epping are very 6 -8 mins apart with a loughton or debedn train every 6-8 mins meaning a train north of buckhurst hill every 3-5 mins. i appreciate the debden/loughton terminators aint included in the game as theroute only goes as far as woodford
i tried 5 minutes on an activity, the trains were becoming delayed at epping

i'm sure they don't turn around 2 minutes after getting there, there's not enough time to change ends

HI,
Here are 2 files, which i have uploaded and will need to be placed in the "data\Central\activities" folder of Metro Simulator.
They will give you a 5 Min service between Woodford and Epping and a 10 Min service between Woodford and Roding Valley.
Enjoy. ;)

Hi,

The Train to Roding Valley should be Train 109 starting at Loughton at 0535.

It should then leave Woodford for Roding Valley at 0550 and then run a 10 Min service between Woodford and Roding Valley all day.

No the train leaves woodford sidings reverses in the reversing track into the northbound platform departs woodford but when it gets to the signal for the crossover into roding valley the points dont change and the signal remains red.

You mean this bug (see below)? It was fixed.... ;)
(There has also been a fix for missing signal aspects on the North Weald and Epping entry signals a litttle while later, so if you missed this fix, you missed the later one too.)

perfecttrains1000 wrote: 14 Mar 2021, 10:42 Just found a bug with the ctd, for trains to roding valley, the block only starts being made when the train is in block 119 which is past the signal which as a result of the block not being made, is at danger, easy fix tho.

Edit: found another bug with signal LW35 which has its feather go the wrong way
Both fixed, download link updated. ;)

SPT (the company that runs Glasgow subway) offered to EOR one of the LU1973 cars which ran on the network.

Here are some screenshots of the today's test-runs, during a short stop at North Weald, direction Ongar.

the train pulls into loughton platform 2 at 0536 then the path is created in the cvl for it to depart southbound but the train doesnt move
