Assuming you have a laptop, have you thought about dual booting it to partition part of it for Windows? I have an I-Mac and have done that to play certain games and it works well. Even the mouse and keyboard work okay.

I did London to Brighton whilst travelling London to Brighton.

The Train Sim version got in 4 minutes before we actually made it in. Mind, London to Croydon was where I gained 3 minutes on the actual train I was travelling on. Croydon to Brighton was pretty much matching.

I believe there is the Dawlish Coast Line - Riviera Line IIRC.

Who wants to play a simulation on a computer when travelling on the actual route? I'd far rather be enjoying the real scenery through the window! :D

I've Simsigged Stafford while travelling through Stafford.

Me and a friend did that a few years ago whilst travelling to Stafford from Manchester. It may have been the Stafford one we were playing on
