BVE: LUL Routes status update

[Clackers]

I've recently started 'driving' BVE routes and in particular the LU routes. I'm not clever enough to develop routes myself (if I was then I'd start the Central Line tomorrow) so I'm not going to criticise anyone who has developed routes.

However, I was just wondering if there are any other full LUL routes available out there, other than the ones listed below:

Bakerloo Line:

Elephant And Castle - Harrow And Wealdstone (Northbound)
Elephant And Castle - Queen's Park
(Northbound)

Piccadilly Line:

Cockfosters - Hammersmith
(Southbound)
Osterley - Heathrow Terminal 4
(Southbound)

Victoria Line:

Walthamstow Central - Brixton
(Southbound)
Brixton - Northumberland Park Depot
(Northbound)
Victoria Sidings - King's Cross Sidings
(Northbound)
King's Cross Sidings - Victoria Sidings
(Southbound)

Metropolitan Line:

Aldgate - Finchley Road
(Westbound)

Circle Line:

Aldgate - Aldgate
(Anti-Clockwise)

District Line:

Edgware Road - Putney Bridge
(Southbound)

Northern Line:

Edgware - Kennington (via Charing Cross)
(Southbound)
Kennington - High Barnet (via Charing Cross)
(Northbound)

East London Line:

Shoreditch - New Cross
(Southbound)

THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO KNOWN BVE ROUTES AT ALL FOR THE CENTRAL, HAMMERSMITH & CITY OR JUBILEE LINES.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO KNOWN BVE ROUTES FOR THE DISTRICT LINE BRANCHES TO EALING BROADWAY, RICHMOND, KENSINGTON OLYMPIA OR UPMINSTER.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO KNOWN BVE ROUTES FOR THE METROPOLITAN LINE NORTH OF FINCHLEY ROAD TO UXBRIDGE, WATFORD, CHESHAM OR AMERSHAM.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO KNOWN 'WORKING' BVE ROUTE FOR THE PICCADILLY LINE BETWEEN HAMMERSMITH AND OSTERLEY (HEATHROW BRANCH) AND NO KNOWN BVE ROUTE AT ALL FOR THE PICCADILLY LINE'S UXBRIDGE BRANCH.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO KNOWN BVE ROUTE AT ALL FOR THE NORTHERN LINE SOUTH OF KENNINGTON AND NO KNOWN 'WORKING' BVE ROUTES FOR EITHER THE BANK BRANCH OR THE MILL HILL EAST EXTENSION.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO KNOWN BVE ROUTE FOR THE EAST LONDON LINE TO NEW CROSS GATE.

I would be glad if some people could correct and point me in the right direction to download any routes I've listed as not available.

I'm told that the Jubilee Line is under construction (Stanmore - North Greenwich/Stratford?) and that work had begun on the Central Line by 2 different developers but both of them have now stopped, alas.

There is a great MSTS District Line route from Ealing Broadway under construction (progress unknown), shame that nobody is doing that for BVE.

Re: revised list

Hey, that was a very thoughtful post - I have all those but obviously there are many people who don't. It must have taken some time to gather all those links in one place so maybe it should go in the FAQ section as well.

Anyway, thanks on behalf of the "many"

Thanks, it was no problem! The database can be found on my website

RE: LUL Routes status update

Cheers for that list. However, for new drivers like me, the H & C Line is no longer available.

I didn't know about the Mill Hill East branch being available for BVE, but it seems as though I need a lot of other routes to play it.

I also recently downloaded a LUL 1996 Tube Stock train. I know the Jubilee Line isn't available [yet] so how do I go about using it on the Northern Line, if at all possible? Does the 1996 Stock differ much from the 1995 Stock? I heard it has different sounds...

RE: LUL Routes status update

I think I have tried to download the old version (V2) of the Northern Line to Morden (via Bank) but to no avail. I don't think it's online, anymore. Nothing happened when I tried to download it. "File error" kept appearing on the page at which it was supposed to be hosted. It's a shame, as I haven't even been south of Stockwell on the Northern Line in real life, let alone on a train sim!

Hi,

RE: LUL Routes status update

Hi

Re the H&C.

Robert did stop work on the H&C. He passed the WIP to me a few years ago now, but I did not have time to do anything with it because I was writing the Circle/District Line at the time.

The completed section of the route was very good, but only went as far as Westbourne Park (the sketeton of track was complete plus a few more stations such as Euston Square). There were quite a few bugs too. To bring it up to modern standards would take as long as writing a new version I think.

Robert did collaborate on a new version of the Bakerloo Line, but I never got chance to release it. It would need smooth curves adding, but is otherwise still quite good. He also contributed to the Circle Line.

He gave up coding due to a lack of time.

Cheers

Paul :-)

RE: LUL Routes status update

East London Line correction:

The route is Shoreditch to New Cross Gate, not New Cross.

There will soon be available Night and Off-Peak variations, that will make available Whitechapel to New Cross Gate.

RE: LUL Routes status update

Hello Richard, not seen you around lately. I did correct the original error
These new variations sound great! Let's hope Steve's updated A-Stock is out soon
