Hi, sorry to bump this very old thread, but what is happening with these track sections? by the sound of the above comments it would be a shame for them not to be released or used...

Regarding the structural analysis of the Wapping tunnel - a few years ago I seem to remember that tere was a poposal to convert this tunnel for a road to bypass the city centre - I think an analysis was carried out then, showing that the tunnel was structually sound (think of the damage done if this...

Just to clear up some points made by mattvince... Tunnelling is always expensive, would require the tunnels to be rebuilt to modern standards - which would probably be impossible to do without ruining the 'heritage' site at Edge Hill. I don't see how linking the City Lines to the Northern Line would...

I did put some proposals forward of what I wioul like to happen (taking into account some of the proposals/wish list that have been mooted at one time or another): I would certanly like to have an expansion of Merseyrail, in which case my proposals would be: A line from Central/edge hill using the W...

Might I suggest the £170m from Liverpool now going begging be sent up the ship canal so we in Manchester can use it with our £520m to get going on Metrolink Phase 3 ? Oh, now thats a rather sensitive subject in Liverpool - they (manchester) have already got trams. More money going ino Manchester ...

Just to add futher fuel to the arguement... 5.4 mile A74 conversion to the M6 in March 2000 the estimated cost was at £46 million. Current estimate now £146 million (3 times over origional estimate). Status - likely to go ahead, approved by government to start at earliest 2008. 11.8 mile Merseytra...

Its official, Liverpool are not going to get their trams:

Its a real shame, but it shows that the government are not willing to put trams back into our cities

Hi, I am currently trying to create some activities for UK Regional v2.0 and have hit a problem... I am trying to create an activity between Kennelwick and Bobbington (the 'Preserved' part) but when I try and run the activity, it doesn't work. The consist runs OK in explore mode (the default class 5...

Here is the relevent article on the BBC news site:

It also looks like several other TOCs are affected, such as Silverlink and Midland mainline as well as Central anf Virgin XC...

The model is really good (just driven it to pleasure beach ). I am beginning to have quite alot of trams in MSTS!

That horn sounds familiar though...(have you been to manchester recently? )

You talk about best value for money for the railways, so why not for the roads? This is one of the reasons that there are very few/if any rail/tram projects in England one example being the Mersytram project being delayed (possibly cancelled :x ) is because costs went up by 20% and Alistar Darling w...

How about:

Mail Rail
Departure Board

(sorry if they have already been posted)

Wow, that does look good! I live near there when I am not at uni, and I must say, that you really have captured the museum really well - I particularly like the Darby Assembly building. Cannot wait for this route to come out! The perfect place for some of the Blackpool trams (such as the Toastrack, ...

Hi, This route might be of interest to people, its a route based on a interurban line in Canada (hence I decided to open this thread in the tramways section) I haven't downloaded it yet (have to wait until September when I move back to university), but from the pictures here: http://www.lnps.info/l+...

The Metrolink trams don't have CCTV on them, but they have a little mirror that folds out from the cab, so the driver can see the passengers getting on the platform, and when to close the doors!
