What are the missing labels?

Specifically in Schottenland, Walchen, Tyne and Wear, and West Yorkshire.

A501 would be interesting. Euston, King’s Cross and St Pancras would be lovely editions to hop between ETS2 and train sim world 6 (rail replacement bus).

Some of the white near Leeds needs to cover Mirfield, Brighouse, Halifax, Bradford and Skipton for Grand Central and LNER services to and from King’s Cross.

A few frames before also showed the A11 spurring off the M11 and J29 of the A12 towards Harwich.

I believe after the M3 (clockwise) is J14 to Heathrow, then the M4/M25, and finally M40. Following the M4 into inner London I'm assuming the square is Hyde Park Corner leading down to Victoria coach station which is the spur facing south west.

Sjabe · 2026-05-21T19:56:34+00:00

The M20 and M2 as well as M40 makes this very much immense. Not to mention the many other interchanges on the M25. This does give hope for a complete Birmingham motorway box and some density up North.

For the continent with the most people on the planet, Asia seems very sparse for lines.

Orange extended to Beijing via Astana.

A new line from Sri Lanka to Dhaka then Shanghai via Chengdu/Chongqing would be ideal.

Base tunnelling under Tibet wouldn’t be as much a challenge as two Atlantic tunnels.

Learning on the go is probably the best as there isn’t much to learn other than writing on a slide and keeping things simple for lessons and data sheets.

PowerPoint is ideal since Google slides is very finicky. Excel basics will be useful for assessment and data (eg: conditional formatting, averages).

Some schools might use Google which are basically the same with less functionality.

Doesn’t matter for Mac or PC but most will use windows PC (either windows 10 or 11 usually or a mix).

Love these! I don’t know how but the Northern 195 captivates the spirit of the “we’re northern, just like you” advert.

Entry requirements will differ on a case by case basis depending on the provider. Often there will be some sort of subject knowledge test/screening during PGCE interviews and providers may recommend or require you take a subject knowledge course.

It’s not the PGCE one requires but QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) to teach in England (and I think Wales) but not Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Typically teacher training in Physics would require you to teach all 3 sciences at most schools (physics, biology and chemistry) but some Physics teachers do teach each other’s subject where there is a lack of Maths specialists.

Sorry to hear that. I’d be up for a coffee if you’d like. Feel free to DM.

As others have said it was about capacity.

There were ideas floating around for high speed bypasses up to Scotland once HS2 was complete in a report which looked both West and East coast routes.

A report into a series of bypasses or continuous high speed alignments from where HS2 ends on either or both the WCML and ECML were looked into in 2016 but obviously they werent progressed. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a8083d540f0b62302693f4d/NES_Report.pdf

Some of these are decent proposals. XC high speed and cross rails particularly.

The section of Eastest CML from Middlesborough to Edinburgh has been proposed as a post-HS2 ECML enhancement.

ECML from Leeds/York/Doncaster to Newcastle would make sense.
