Updates to London Brighton sections on this route:
TS14 Characters with TS15 animations to all stations.
Changed Track and Track Rule to South London Network (for Scenario reasons)
Changed third rail to South London version (looks better)
Changed Vegetation to South London Network (to avoid having two different route styles and looks better!)
TS14 Platform Lofts with updated boundaries
TS15 Road Lofts
Collision boxes added to all stations
Rain and Tunnel Occulsions added to all stations
Updated Merstham cutting to look better. (Embankment assets to hide jagged terrain)
Minor fixes all along the route to improve minor bits.
Added disabled ramps to all stations (where appropriate)
Removal of distant asset block houses where appropriate )
Added more portals to the route

Does this come up as a different named route in the route list?

If not how will this affect scenarios written for the original SLL?

Well done fantastic work. I think DTG Should have offered this in two version (a) the existing one with TS15 (b) your added version !! would have saved you a lot of work, still what you have done will ensure I will get the SLN so I can add it to my Brighton Line with your mods.
One question !
I have my own version of L to B (based in 1960's Steam era and goes to Waterloo (track only)) will your version ONLY add the two modern sceneries together or can it join a L to B copy (if say I renamed it)
Carry on the excellent work, well done and thanks
John

I downloaded this yesterday from Workshop and it is an excellent piece of work. I lived in South London (about 50 years ago), but many bits of the route are still as I remembered them. The merge has been really well done.

Congratulations to Danny.

Just wanted to say thank you :), and also to note that the route has been updated with Quick Drives for the whole route (I've covered a lot of it but i'm sure there will be places that I've missed), the route also includes the crossovers North and South of Earlswood (that were missing from Brighton Main Line) - however they aren't completely in the correct place. (I've placed them to work with the track so that I didn't have to relay a lot of the area)

Edit - updated again due to Quickdrives breaking for some bizarre reason.

Looks very good!

I have subscribed but the nothing has downloaded yet so I can't have a look, will see what the problem is when I'm back from holiday.

I see there has been speed changes, just wondering has the 20MPH limit on the Down Brighton Slow at Victoria been moved back? I'm pretty sure the 20mph limit doesn't end at the top of the bank, I believe it ends where the Down Fast limit ends

According to a picture I took, it looks as if there's a speed board at the bottom of the incline - but unfortunately it's not too clear.

This is the most up to date sectional appendix map for the top end of the station.

Thank you, although I do have the same documents :), but will double check those speed signs in that area, but I don't really want to make drastic changes to track, speed signs might be ok to change (but just in case I'd thought i would mention that :) ), but i'm hoping to make the route final before the end of this week depending on free time.

From the Sectional appendix page the Speed increases at the same point on the Down Brighton Fast and the Down Brighton Slow.

I was running a scenario the other day and there appears to be a missing Signal on the Down Slow approaching Gatwick Airport.
It's where the PSR Warning board is and the signal is there on the Down Fast but not on the Slow.
