SimSig:Add-on timetables

To help keep our SimSig Sessions varied and enjoyable, we often create add-ons for various simulations which can be overlaid on top of a base timetable. Generally, these will follow one train, such as a railtour or test train, over each simulation available for the path, and are able to be loaded either standalone or as part of a chain. Each add-on will be fully tested to ensure correct functionality as an individual train (and, where a train is a real-life working, that it runs as closely as possible to the route taken in reality), however no guarantees are made that the trains will be 'without conflict' when loaded into a base timetable - after all, that's part of the fun!

You're welcome to download and play our add-on timetables with your own sims, but if you share them on please ensure you leave the copyright notice and link to our SimSig Home page intact. We also ask that if others are joining your games using our add-ons that you acknowledge the source.

This page will list add-ons that have been created, with a brief overview of the train(s), route(s), simulations available and any other relevant information.

Known bugs

  • 1Z40 significantly overhangs at the back of the platform at Coleshill Parkway and Barnt Green. In reality, at least the front two locomotives would be 'off' the platform. This will be addressed at a later stage.

The Friday Charter

This add-on is of The Friday Charter services, which operated between Crewe, London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly on four consecutive Fridays in August and September 2022. Operated by Locomotive Services under their InterCity brand, the train used either a class 87 or class 90 locomotive, nine mark 3 carriages and a Driving Van Trailer.
