NOTES –

~ Due to pathing limitations with the old London Bridge layout (Parts 2 & 3), a small number of services have been omitted.

~ ASYNC keys are advised at Bedford, where you are waiting at the platform for up to 25 minutes before departure. You should not use ASYNC keys whilst cold-starting the train at the depot, as the pressure gauges aren’t affected by this in-game time acceleration.

~ There are 4 signals which you are required to TAB, all occurring in the London Bridge area (2 in Part 2, 2 in Part 3). I have placed reminders for when to do this. Obey all other signals.
