LOL

I suppose you just found it too hard to read the other 3 or 4 topics on the subject.

I'm not repeating myself, read what's already been written several times.

Are you clicking on the "click here to update" link frequently, every couple of minutes or so?

That's bizarre... i'll see if there's 'owt in the logs.

Meanwhile, keep clicking, I must admit I can't remember if the queue starts at 0 or 1 !

i was also wandering if there's going to be any development on the London-Southampton route especially as it still has a fault around the Eastleigh area which freazes the whole game.

Unfortunately, due to untracable problems with the route, London-Southampton had to be abandoned.

There is now a new version in production by Backfoot2002, see http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?t=24845

There are plenty of topics dealing with London-Southampton problems, see the following if you are feeling adventurous (or masochistic

No. Mine had more, but I/we are still battling on with it.

Lets get this clear.

Are you saying that you are now adding more bugs because someone came close to matching your number ?

Buffy suspects its just a ploy because it was getting too near to being released

Yes but you never let your's out to the masses! Can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?

We are just different I suppose. With us you get some idea how long things are delayed if all problems are sorted before completion.

On the other hand it might just be an indicator of what a cr*p route builder I am and all the problems I caused had to be sorted out by Decapod et al.
