Here are screenshots from Part 2.

In the high level platforms at London Bridge, change here for South Eastern services to Cannon Street from Platform 2 and Charing Cross from Platform 6, Southern and Underground, Northern and Jubilee lines.

A Southern service departs the low level platforms as we leave London Bridge.

We pass a Thameslink service to Bedford as we approach Sydenham.

Approaching the junction, the left goes to East Croydon, the right goes to West Croydon.

A Thameslink service to Bedford passes us as we approach East Croydon.


More screenshots coming soon.

So that one destination says Brighton via Haywards Heath and the other (the one from Midland Mainline) saying Bedford.

JTiffin, I have just read the description. It says that you require London - Brighton Express.

May I ask but why use the LBE 319? There are good freeware alternatives. It's just that LBE is no longer avalible, excpet through e-Bay, and if people want to download your activity, they have to get a copy of LBE just to run this activity.

Just as a suggestion, could you try to use some freeware models instead of using commericial models?

While taking into account this is a suggestion... it is up to the creator to choose what stock they want to use in an activity.

It is also quite possible to run this activity if you don't have London-Brighton installed, you just edit the consists to use something that you do have, i use conbuilder to do so as i have a feeling activity editor will crash? I don't think conbuilder can be downloaded anymore but am i right in thinking you can download something else to edit consists? I edited a lot of consists on the London Tilbury Southend route so i didn't have to download more stock than i wanted too, worked a treat.

BTW nice shots jtiffin.

Have I missed the rule change where people are allowed to be aggressive to people for really no reason at all, and was it also announced at the same time that it was decided that to write an act using commercial stock was a hanging offence ?

As they say, what a joke.

Grow up people.





In relation to the actual use of the model in question, personally I feel its a bit of overkill just to get a different destination on the front of a train, but is it not his own choice ? It will mean less people can simply use it without having to swap stock.
I don't think that the the freeware stock is really much of a match for any of the commercial options either. Ben's models are now very very dated, and given its an act on a commercial route really whats the point of changing from ok commercial models to fairly poor freeware versions ?
