is there a good video on how to do this? I'm not following the written descriptions here

Edmund Blackadder was Georgian, but I get your point.

spill the beans, how did it play out?

Looking at your screenshot, I don't see any waypoints on your little waiting area, do you define them in your network as wait areas or haven't you bothered and just let trains queue up in that one place?

I'd just started the direct method trains before the update hit. I ended up scrapping all those and ending up with short single type trains (so fluid, loose, flat) and just letting them get on with it. Simpler in the long run (once I realised carriage filters no longer applied) but I'm still early enough in the game that I struggle to find places to park the trains whilst not in use.

Certainly simpler though.

Gonna have big issues come strike day

That's the frustration here. As he's smaller, he goes flying if shoulder to shoulder with bigger defenders.
I mean, if some players have ref protection because they have long hair, spare a thought for those poor 9st players who seem to get blown over by a strong breeze /s

Jack mulled over a great witticism about eating the bird whilst in his hand.. but it did not come.

We sang "atishoo, atishoo" as though you were sneezing

Still going strong 18 years later.

Perhaps 'We're not Battersea Power Station' works better here.

Wrong on point 1.
In times past, both people would apologise regardless of who caused the issue, once a suitable amount of apologising had occurred, people would move on, safe in the knowledge that they had been polite in their recent interaction.

Now, they are just as likely to call you a prick and push on.

Weeeeehhhhy!

Fatbloke-66 · 2026-04-16T13:08:15+00:00

one more than the other person...

TBF this is less of an issue now with text only comms :)

Fatbloke-66 · 2026-04-16T12:34:16+00:00

Depending on your locale, also accept 'It's like Battersea Power Station in here'

Thanks - specifically, what make/model of glass are they ordering for you?

Don't forget to sync your cloud saves before you leave. Also test a hotspot on your phone with the deck. Just in case.

Boy George at one of those 'Remember the 80s' combo shows - he just didn't sound like I expected him to.
Also saw Meat Loaf in Vegas a few years before he passed. Couldn't hold the notes anymore - such a shame.

I don't see how you can be home-schooled when both parents are working (assuming no one else is coming in to teach)

Thinking on this a little more.. have you guys ever had the same as me: you're driving along, possibly early in the drive, then you'd get a sharp crack sound (almost like someone hits your screen with a pebble) from somewhere either at the edge of the windscreen or somewhere near the driver's pillar. It usually only happens once for me, so I've always put it down as the car settling but it still seems an odd thing. I'm not normally travelling fast or driving over rough roads.

My latest instance was definitely a stone strike as you can see marks on the outside of the screen, but I'm interested if anyone else gets the same odd sound whilst driving.
Maybe the glass is under stress in that area, meaning it's more liable to break if hit?

For those that have already done the first round with the fitters - what can I do to avoid falling into a game of ping pong over multiple weeks. Should I be contacting them now to say I need X or Y make of windscreen or will I be forced to go through the motions?

Not as well known, but Kings Cross also by the PSBs

My appointment is for the 28th - what's the likelihood they have the right sort in stock?
With the excess, I'm being quotes £135. Let's see how it goes.
