This is to Maarten Otto, how on earth does one load the above onto the London to Brighton. I have tried several times without luck. Anybody would be grateful as well. Thanks

What do you mean by 'load? As in installing it or starting it in the scenario menu?

Hi, i have just run this scenario. I loaded it using the standard procedure for .rwp files:

1. unzip the .rwp to a handy location (e.g.desktop)
2. start railworks, go to the 'package manager' tab
3. select install
4. navigate to the location that you placed the .rwp file, select it and hit 'open'
5. clear the cache

Then it should appear in the list of 'drive by route' scenarios under London to Brighton.

1) Download the file from UKTS
2) Open the directory where you downloaded the file by double clicking on it
3) Open the file you've downloaded by double clicking on it. It's called UKTS_29137_LocaltoCroydon.zip
4) Extract the file called Local_to_Croydon.rwp to your desktop by holding down the left mouse button on the file and dragging it to your desktop
5) Run TS2012
6) Click on the package manager tab on the launcher that appears
7) Click on the install button on the right hand side of the launcher
8 ) Locate the Local_to_Croydon.rwp that you've dragged to your desktop in the window that pops up asking for the file
9) Click on OK
10) Play the scenario :D

I'm yet to play this scenario, looks lovely... Will give it a bash when I get home...

I've also got some ideas for scenarios, however, I'll be working with a Working Timetable and having a look at it, there are tonnes of services that will need to be in there, not sure if my system will manage with all that AI.... When I get time, I'll get started and see how far my system will stretch. Mind you, I hardly ever get SBHH, I think the last one was way back in February..... mmmmm..... :-?

I thought installing .rwp was common knowledge.

Thanks for the great comments guys, It got me thinking of a new scenario, involving FCC/SE/SN as it will be in roughly three to four years. One mega franchise for the South England including Thameslink. This might result in a fun fair of livery combinations.
Welcome to 2015. Southern, SouthEastern and First Capital Connect are only known from history books and photographs. DafT had to play with their toy set once more, resulting in the largest rail franchise of Britain.
Scenario name: DafT playing around
Route: Gatwick Aiportt - East Croydon - Victoria
Features: Green signals allllll the way... well, if you know my scenario's... :shocked!: I guarantee you something.... that might be funny, or be that frustrating that your glad you get to London in the end...

Actually, it's up to you guys. Tell me what you'd like to see and I might just do that....

BTW, I still need a Southern 170 and 455 :wink:

I too thought that, I had not had one since last year! :)
Then I met London to Brighton, oh boy does that route hate me! Although if you are doing a scenario I'd recommend (as you probably know) is save, save, save. Save after every little thing you do. I tend to get the SBHH most commonly when I go to Hassocks (in the editor), so what I decided to was move AI further up the track and just start it earlier so it still passes at the same point!
Good Luck! :lol:
