Humm.. something tells me we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one, If an activity has speed restrictions in it then fair enough but just to put them in cos the track does not line up is not on in my books.

Signals are usually put in to aid operation of the sim and again, don't always mirror real life. Neither does track-work.
Again, yes your right but I did a route from Brighton-Gatwick on the original Trainz system and managed to get a reasonable route by using in-cab videos and a scaled OS Map as well as my own experiences commuting on the line day-in-day-out. For me the original version just seemed sloppy, I dunno perhaps they were learning MSTS as well I just hope the one I have on order now sorts out the shortcomings of the original London-Brighton route?
