During your 13 hour shift starting at 6:00 am, you are responsible for over 400 train services and takes you through the morning and evening commuter rush hours. Your control area covers the East Coast Main Line from London Kings Cross to just before Peterborough, the loop through Hertford North and the line towards Cambridge - that's approximately 80 route miles. To make life a little easier, automatic routes and junctions can be created giving you the chance to concentrate on arrivals and departures.
Although the working timetables are supplied in HTML format, you are also able to view a real time timetable for each station and arrival line in your control area. This will show you the current arrivals, departures and the last known location of each service giving you an idea of when to expect the train. A comprehensive printed manual is supplied.
Suitable for any PC (or Apple Macintosh with a suitable emulator) running Microsoft Windows versions 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000 or NT4 with a minimum screen resolution of 640x480 (although for the ideal display 800x600 is recommended).
