Review
During your 12 hour shift starting at 6.00am, you are responsible for over 550 train services and takes you through the morning and evening commuter rush hours. Your control area covers the line from Berkswell to Dudley Port on the West Coast Mainline loop, lines to Stourbridge, Walsall, Longbridge, Lichfield and Derby/Tyseley - that's approximately 35 route miles. To make life a little easier, automatic routes and junctions can be created giving you the chance to concentrate on arrivals and departures.
With the large control area, if you delay a train you make other problems elsewhere in the simulation with a knock-on-effect of congestion at other stations or junctions - something you don't have when using simulations that only cover a single station.You are given complete flexibility in how to control them and are not restricted to specific platforms or lines therefore using different routes for each train. |
