In Lancashire, the ever competitive Midland Railway spots an opportunity to antagonise their great rival the London & North Western Railway after being frustrated with L&NWR's refusal to let them run trains to Scotland on the line from Carnforth. The MidR get wind of L&NWR's plans to build a small branch line to the coastal towns of Morcombe and Heysham and build a line that branches off their Skipton to Carnforth route to reach these towns first.


Meanwhile, in Scotland the North British railway look to fill in the gaps to their network to prevent the Caledonian Railway from encroaching on their territory further. In Fife they construct a loop line to serve Cardenden and Dunfermline with a line out to Alloa and Stirling.
.

Further south, the North Eastern Railways build a line from Newcastle to Carlisle via Hexham to link the East Coast main line and West Coast main line.

After the Midland Railway scupper the London & North Western Railway's plans for Morcombe and Heysham, relations deteriorate to an all time low and L&NWR make it clear that MidR trains will never use their West Coast main line to Carlisle. The directors of the MidR make a risky decision to build their own line to Carlisle, then use the Glasgow & South Western Railway's route to Glasgow St Enoch. With limited options of where to build their line, they opt for a costly route through the hilly Yorkshire Dales.


The Great Western Railway continue to criss-cross the Cotswolds with a new line from Birmingham Snow Hill to Cheltenham via Stratford-upon-Avon to steal some of the MidR's traffic. Another line runs from Oxford to their Worcester Shrub Hill station to link that part of their network with London Paddington via Oxford.


A branch line from Maidenhead to High Wycombe via Marlow is also constructed with an eye at extending through more of Buckinghamshire in the future.

Love this! May I ask exactly which map you are using?

Alas, I've had to abandon the game as it keeps crashing. If anyone wants a poke around where I've gotten to (pretty much all except the very northern Scotland lines, some lines in the North West, the Border Union railway and Great Central railway), send me a message with your e-mail address and I'll send you a dropbox link to the save game and all the game files.

What version of OTTD are you using? Says Broken Savegame - Invalid Chunk Size

There's a link to the version earlier in the thread, it's quite old now. All the game files are in the Dropbox folder so if you download it all you get the game version.

I love your cosy cities and railways!
