I work at Guildford station and unfortuneately the there arent any peak hour fast train from Guildford-Clapham Junction until 8.30 and my train is at 7.54 non stop. There are local stopping services but these become very annoying after 25minutes but I'd assume that using any underground station at a...

Yes true about the Underground. I'm having to use the Northern Line at 8.30am...I've been told by colleagues that it can get nasty. Anyway the deciding factor is the service on either TOC (attitide of traincrew mainly)

Cool have they both got plug sockets in standard and first class? Plus I HATE crowded trains and I'm guessing the Kings Cross-Edinburgh route is a a darn sight more popular than London-Carlisle-Edinburgh right? How does the scenery compare between routes?

Whoops yes London, in theory Guildford-Waterloo is the first bit but yes you're right I'm starting from London. The current plan is London Euston-Carlisle then change for Edinburgh. However the connecting time between arriving and departing Carlisle is 17 minutes so hopefully there'll be no delay

Hi folks, Off to Edinburgh tomorrow morning and stuck on whether to use Virgin and travel up the WCML [changing at Carlisle] or go direct with NXEC up the ECML. I was pretty dead set on Virgin because want to give the Pendolinos 1st class coach a blast but also because I've heard that the staff on N...

Well I had a thorough read and got some good advice when I changed operating systems. I merely went through the same installation procedure as the version on my laptop (change permissions to 'Everyone', run as administrator etc) and it worked without any problems. I changed the enitre Train Simulato...

No such luck on that one, I'm afraid. When running the installme.bat as administrator as suggested the message changed from xcopy to 'File not found <0 files copied>' Never had these problems with Vista so I'm abit lost

Sure I'll give that a go now. I thought it may be the CD considering my laptop didn't seem to like it very much and it is in a pretty poor state so I thought there may have been a read error. I'll update you once I've searched the forum.

MSTS is fully patched and upto date with MSTS bin. However I did notice the installme.bat appeared and disappeared in about 2 seconds so that got me thinking....I ran it again and took a print screen and it seems all you can read on it is...." 'xcopy' is not recognised as an internal or external com...

Hi folks, I've been running said route problem free since 2006 however it seems my luck has run out. I reinstalled MSTS and all routes from scratch, set the required permissions for Vista etc and all other addon routes work fine. I then installed DC v3 directly from the CD and the installation went ...

Good lord I can't believe it's as simple as creating an open access 'Everyone' folder. Well thanks very much for that, works fine now

I've been reading the topics about running MSTS under Vista and have just installed it for myself and seems to be working fine. I then decided to get on and update Dorset Coast upto v4 then v5 and I do exactly what I did with XP and use Winzip...only this time when I attempt to extract I get an erro...

Yep that's the one, triangular streaks at the stations. I installed the Jubilee Line earlier today, works perfectly although bit annoying there's no link to the 1996 stock anymore. I'll just use my other system, got plenty of BVE 4 routes and stock I can transfer if I want it on my laptop that badly...

Thanks ightenhill, works ok-ish now. Can at least see the tracks in front of me, now I only have the problem of very streaky stations. Downloaded the V4.1 update files from TSC, but half way through copying the compatible files to my objects folder, Windows Explorer crashes. Don't suppose you had an...

Makes sense, lets give that a go. Have a Fluid Mechanics exam at university now so I'll let you know shortly after 1 if I've managed to get it working. Thanks!
