They're there, just spread out :D
Happened to catch those particular areas while especially quiet (except Birmingham, where the trains are just hidden by the station building

The Great Western Gloucester - Weymouth train finally made an appearance

And here is the network map as it is now

The network has come a long way, and there's been a lot of improvement of the appearances of some key stations.

Been focussing on South London recently, and I think I've squeezed in all of the London termini that I'm going to be able to.

Image


Also wanted to point out Herne Hill, where I was messing around with a mix station graphics. Found that the Australian - country platform bitumen surface with awning, next to the Japanese platforms looks really nice, like the platform sections with awnings are just in the shade, just happen to have the right contrasting shades of grey! Will be experimenting with this look in different set ups around the map now I think.

Image


One of the larger stations on the map outside of London; Reading! I still need to add the Cross Country Services, but all Great Western lines are there now. tried to represent the footbridge as best as possible and quite happy with how it looks.

You can also see I had some issues on the Cardiff line which caused some delays, normal service will soon resume!

Insanely good work.

The images aren't in your last post, for some reason.

Thanks for letting me know, I uploaded them in the wrong place, but just used the links - so they show up fine for me but not other people I guess :lol:

I think they should be working here

May as well post a couple more whilst I'm here!

The busy junction between Bromley South, Swanley and Orpington.
We can see a few class 465s and 375s in their various Southeastern liveries (I've tried to keep the liveries more or less matching the actual routes, though I'm likely off on a few), as well as a Thameslink class 700 doing the Blackfriars - Sevenoaks route

Image


One of the busiest parts of the map in southwest London - impossible to squeeze everything in, but love the tracks weaving between the residential areas

Image


I wanted to emulate the bus service between Aschurch for Tewkesbury and the town, but Tewkesbury decided to come to the station. Still have the busses running to the town centre though!

The Southeastern Rail network is almost complete! Still need to add in the branch line to Sheerness and the high speed connection to St Pancras aren't in yet (I need to rework the Stratford area before this will be possible), but all the other routes that I could reasonably include are now running. I intend to eventually have the Eurotunnel represented.

Image


Woking is an interesting looking station. A Southwestern Rail train from Waterloo can be seen just arriving at Weybridge and there is a Great Western train to the south heading from Redhill to Reading (I've arranged for some of the Gatwick - Reading trains to terminate instead at Redhill due to congestion at Gatwick.) Heathrow can be seen just to the north, not quite geographically accurate, but the only place I could fit it! Still haven't connected it up yet, I'm going to make cities at the edge of the map to represent international destinations eventually, funneling some extra traffic through the direct airport connections.

Image


I've started this up at Gatwick, which has made the Gatwick Express a very useful connection. Even managed to get the trains running approximately half hourly xD

Here we see it rushing through Clahpham Junction non-stop, with an almost full load of passengers, many of which will be heading on to Europe.

Hmmm, trouble seems to be brewing

This is what I get for cost-cutting

Image


Seems they want a pay rise, I suppose I can afford it...
