Obviously someone has been busy, Warwick, Channel tunnel, possibly the TGV line through France? What comes next?

Well, if North British, Hunslet or the likes of the famous Beyer Peacock & Company were still around today; they would certainly do that; and make an handsome profit!

Regards to new version; thank goodness they put proper Safe-working and Interlocking; a step forward in the right direction

I'm sure excitement got the better of the proof reader.

Just took a look at the Wallangarra route on Google maps - looks like my kind of railway, meandering through hill country and 98km so a good length to drive. Roll on TANE!
 
It appears the typo has been corrected...

There's another towards the bottom in the section about super elevated track :

It states : providing realistic "can't" .... "Can't" means your forbidden when used in a sentence ,
It should be "Cant" which is the correct term and which also refers to a naughty Cockney person :hehe:

You mean they've cut back the scope of the project already, and there was I hoping for a few bits of English scenery near Warwick.

If they can not get a web page proof read does not look good for the code checking - hope service packs come out as quick as they were with fixing the web pages and on a Aussie weekend as well

Proofing text and what not has nothing to do with the code developers; Shame on the marketing department for not proofing text.

In my ancient, and more youthful days, I worked as a typesetter. It was a lot of work running out the text to galleys then having the crew proof and me then having to go back and redo stuff. That was before we used paper and laser printers so making a mistake was an expensive ordeal. The film cost, back 25 years ago, over $200 for a 150 foot roll. So, I learned the hard way... You need to make stuff right before it's posted. It's not saying I don't make typos, but I'm sure careful about it. It's now habit, I suppose.

I remember when TRS2006 was coming out. In the final days before the release, there were screen shots being posted up, with lots of fanfare and excitement, on the forums. I caught a ton of typos right in the game screens and was PM'ing Lance to get them fixed which they were as the team was getting right down to the wire.

Keep in mind that we're all human and mistakes will happen. At least they're fixing them.

I had a read through the shop page a few minutes after it went live (I was on my phone mind, had to go out in the afternoon), and didn't notice the mistake on Wallangarra till I read this thread... I did note the issue with "can't" instead of "cant", but didn't get back intime to report it. Rest assured, it has been forwarded on.

My point being, even getting someone to 'proof read' it isn't fool-proof. If this is the worst of our mistakes though, then we'll have done something well I think ;)
