I think with msts in carspawner you cannot tell a London bus to stay in the London area,It just pops up randomly,if you don't want it just delete it from carspawner,the trouble is if you then replace it with another bus,that one will then show up in London.

if you are running the modern version of TM you could try a Stagecoach bus, Stagecoach operate routes in London but I don;t know if they oprtate in Liverpool, if it's the steam era then try the Red Bristol FLF, but again it will show up in London and LT didn't operate Bristols, failing that you will have to make your own bus.

The nearest double decker would be the green RT as they were based on a AEC Regent,as far as I know that would be your best bet as I think Liverpool operated green AEC Regents.

My advice is to concentrate on driving the trains, and you'll hardly have time to notice the road traffic.

My railway photos are now on Google + - links to the albums are in this thread http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 9&t=149558

Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.

4 answers :

1. Yes there are Virgin Trains included on the Thames Mersey DVD.
2. Not as far as I can see. There are 156 activities on there including some driving Virgin Trains.
3. UKTS ship on Tuesdays and Fridays once payment is cleared. So if you pay by WorldPay tonight you could have it on Saturday morning (postman willing).
4. Thames Mersey runs in 2 different eras with batch files to switch between the 2 eras (steam and Electric).
Kindest regards

Like Dorset Coast, Thames Mersey is a BIG route. Even on the highest spec pc's it will still have problems. Because you have a laptop, it might not like your Laptop. Install Trainstore, T section. But if it doesn't work it might be your laptop.

So when I click on train simulator it starts loading up then when it gets about 3/4 of the way up it freezes and nothing seems to happen at all and when i do CTRL,ALT + DEL together it comes up MSTS is not responding, is there anything I need to do as I would love to do the activities and routes but I have been waiting over 20mins for MSTS to start.
