For those of you that missed my earlier threads: I've embarked on a long-term project to create a working virtual model of British Railways using OpenTTD.

I do have better things to do with my time, but this is how I avoid doing them.

I don't know anything more specific than this, but it sounded like the Innsmouth Look to me. Intriguing that they both agreed that the place was creepy, even though they didn't know each other before that day and definitely hadn't been there together.

Seconding that question. I see you're working with a patch to include the time of day, but you'll still have to manage building the correct distances and travel times with OpenTTDs tile grid system.
And a full-day timetable would also require the trains to be stabled somewhere.

That would mean replacing all of the tube lines as well, since aside from the Northern and W&C they all connect to each other.
