Paddington 1986 (Freeware)

Handle traffic in and out of Paddington, the former Great Western Railway's London terminus, on a busy Saturday afternoon in the summer holiday season. Many trains are operated by the Inter-City 125 express diesel units, but some are loco-hauled, and for these you will have to choose the correct type of loco from those available.

This simulation is set at Paddington, the Western Region terminus in London. Paddington is the terminus of the main line to Bristol, South Wales, Devon and Cornwall,and is seen at a busy period on a Saturday in summer 1986. You have to direct all the trains in and out, selecting platforms to avoid delays and minimise congestion; you also have to allocate appropriate motive power to each loco-hauled service.

Though Paddington is not as busy now that High-Speed Trains have simplified workings, your task will not be simple. In particular, you will have to plan how to use the available platforms to avoid conflicts between arrivals and departures, and adjustments will be needed when arrivals are running late.
