Not sure what you guys think about taking other peoples scenarios and tinkering with them... probably not much. But when I downloaded this scenario I found it was bl**dy good! (the original is herecourtesy of JonScaife) and decided I wanted to play it like the old Scotland 1956 map, So i edited some more towns into wales and scotland to make those areas more accesable and then added some AI players.
The AI players mostly own key british railway routes around now (The London Underground, GNER's East Coast rail line and Virgin Trains North Wales line) as well as 2 other AI companies 1, National Express who has one (very) long distance coach route representing thier 341 link and another AI company, Stagecoach who currently do nothing so will start like the player. The Game starts in 1974 as it took me 10 damn years to build and test the East Coast line (It makes an absolute bomb though)!
Heres the File
The Uk, 1974
Note that the AI routes although as accurate as I can get them are a little rough in some places, mostly for gameplay reasons, for example London Undergrounds Euston station is nowhere near King's Coss.
Everyone likes.... SCREENSHOTS
If people like this scenario and JonScaife doesn't hate me I can upload it too the wikiopenttd if you want.
