The District Line is one of the oldest parts of the London Underground, and the line with the most stations. This simulation covers the western area, from Bayswater and Sloane Square through Earl's Court to Kensington (Olympia), Wimbledon, Richmond and Ealing Broadway.

This is a complicated layout that is just about manageable by one operator. You may find that for the first 30 minutes or so you can run the simulation at x2 speed, but once all the regular services are up and running real time speed is advisable.

Timetable

London Underground doesn't use traditional headcodes. As such, each train has been allocated a headcode in the form AA00 - the first letter signifies the origin, the second letter the destination, and the numbers increment as with normal services. The letter allocations are marked within the simulation.

Circle Line Victoria Edgware Road 7.5
District Line Wimbledon 7.5
