RE: New Route "The West Coast Main Line" (UK)

I'm confused... the Great Western Main Line runs from Bristol to Paddington. The West Coast Main Line runs from Euston to Glasgow. The East Coast Main Line runs from King's Cross to Edinburgh. You somehow mention all three and suggest it's only 150 miles long, whereas the sum of the 3 would be well over 600 miles. The GWML is also not electrified, apart from the first 15 miles or so, and the 390s will only run on the WCML if I remember correctly. So which is it?Geoff M.

RE: New Route "The West Coast Main Line" (UK)

Alright you win.as u can see im not the best train boffin in the world, but the route name is only "The West Coast Main Line".that will now be changed.thanks for the information, platform names will be changed, but i did say that this was a fictious route.the only to real stations are bristol and london. all the others in between are station names which i ahve made up due to the fact that i did not ahve a map of the actual route. there will be more pics on the way.could please just tell me wat you think of the pictures because i has taken me over 1 1/2years to learn teh full in and outs of all the features in train sim route editor.thanksanton
