Yes, the red lines are AC, the blue lines are DC (Third Rail).

Whose the Activity Creator?

I have been stuck for ages at the Red Signal on the UKTRAINSIM Special Activity, the time got to 13:32 before I tried sliding past it

I saw the Train go past, but now there is something else wrong

How long am I going to be waiting here, i keep announcing to the Passengers that we're sorry for the delay, but this is getting silly

Cheers,
Pete

Hi Pete,
If you are referring to the signal at Bootle Junction, I must admit to having a long wait there myself when testing the activity... From memory there are two Southport-Liverpool services to pass before you get a 'green', and then its great fun and a struggle to try and make up some lost time

Cheers,
Terry

I find it sometimes helps to reverse a bit, so that the track monitor changed direction, and then draw forwards.

Well I liked the 'Speedlink' activity, with class 60. Ive currently saved the activity becuase ive been following a commuter train and gettin yellow and red light.

Took a nice shot of my train though

Great activities! still alot to do yet though

Where's the guards van?

Even if the guard agrees to use a compartment you still need the safety equipment.

The original consist had 8 coaches including a brake van, I don't know what happened there.
