DLC'd this one recently, and am enjoying it immensely, if it had been the main route when I bought the game, I think I'd be much more proficient at the whole thing as I struggled in the beginning with locos on Transpennine and Tees Valley (opening the throttle to wide too quickly, the red zig zag lines are the bane of my life on those locos).

Anyway, a small observation, is the approach to Lewes 10mph in the real world?
It's probably something really obvious, but I can't work out why the limit is so low.

Its the overlap between the Eastbound Platform starter and the Junction with the London Line. There have been several incidents over the years.
I was disappointed it was not rectified during the re-signalling but it would be a major infrastructure project and as we know if it doesn't go to London theres no money for it in the South.
