Unfortunatly, you no longer get proper curtains in 1st class any more, either fabric on polls attached to runner rails or our strange blinds we have on Voyagers. The curtains on mk2/3s are the best! Why did you travel first class may i ask, as it is hardly better then standerd, plus its in the middl...

Silverlink mainly use the Northampton loop, but we also use it on some booked services (Virgin Trains). We run as far as i know the 09:38 via there, on the slow run to Manchester. Although i am not passed out on the 390's or based at Euston, I am how ever passed out on the WCML but using 220 and 221...

The media have just blown this all out of proportion and as a result it comes across as VXC don't have a company, but they do have a company, and you should see it around until 2012. This is coming from someone who works for VXC.

First of all, we are always pathed on the slow lines between Clapham and East Croydon, its to do with the pathing issues. Also, the booked path on the 09:20 and 14:22 from Brighton is via Crystal Palace and Brixton, but these days it just seems to be the 09:20. 99% of the time we are either on time ...

Ashford Route

Hello all. I have played BVE for some time now. Very impressed at the amount of real life cab effects as such include cab darkness, aws and wheel slip.

I downloaded the Ashford route, (cant remember the name of it) but it doesnt have AWS, does anyone know how to fix this so its possable to add it?

No- you are half wrong there. We do go through Virginia Water, but not between Kensington Olympia and Reading. I once saw the 15:36 Voyager leave Kensington Olympia towards Clapham Junction towards Reading. How did it get to Reading? Thats strange. I have not heard of that. But it may have been whe...

They have a lot of route knowledge at Virgin. They also have GWML knowledge for the route into Paddington, except that Voyagers aren't passed with GW ATP or something to run with passengers. There is one train which runs into Paddington each morning in order to change tracks without hitting anouthe...
