Hi

My new activity for Dorset Coast 3 has been approved for download.

Difficulty: Medium
Estimated Time to Complete: 3 Hours

March 27th 06:53

Drive a morning commuter service from Weymouth, on the Dorset coast, to Waterloo in central London.

This service is initially in the form of a South West Trains Class 442(formed of 5 cars).

At Bournemouth, an empty Class 442 (formed of 5 cars), will be attached to the rear of your train.

The timetable is based on real South West Trains timings, as are most of the AI services.

You will be calling at:

Weymouth
Upwey
Dorchester South
Moreton
Wool
Wareham
Holton Heath
Hamworthy
Poole
Parkstone
Branksome
Bournemouth
Brockenhurst
Southampton Central
Southampton Airport
Winchester
Woking
Clapham Junction
London Waterloo

Requirements:

Dorset Coast v2 CD
Dorset Coast v3 onwards

All required stock is provided on the Dorset Coast v2 CD

You may need to change the coupler strength to prevent the activity from ending, or you could drive at 90 mph between Winchester and Woking.

Please post any feedback or problems in this thread.

Regards

Callum

Hi Callum,

Wow very good! I certainly wouldn't have the courage to write an activity for the whole route! The only thing I thought was lacking was AI traffic, did you do the AI to the real timetables?

Well done

Nathan

Hi

Thanks for your kind words.

Yes I did use real timetables for most of the AI trains and I noticed there were not many services - especially between Bournemouth and Weymouth - I hope I haven't missed any out. I tried to fill the gaps with some freight services.

However, once an AI service has started, it does not follow a timetable, so only the starting times are realistic.

I am working on another activity, with more AI traffic and some yellow and some red signals, which may be uploaded sometime this week.

Thanks

Callum

I could be wrong, but if you download the activity and run routeriter to check it, it should produce a list of missing stock. Then you have your stock list and can either set about downloading it, or replace with something else

I should say though that replacing stock with others often messes up activities completely as it may run at a different rate and so interactions dont work out as expected or intended.

well done look forward to seeing more from you

His next one is a cracker. Im generally very critical of other peoples activities, perhaps because i write them myself, but the next one is really a very good effort indeed. I think Callum will be uploading it very soon.
