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.

Notes

This layout uses the ‘gillsans’ font face, which is the closest freeware font to the Johnston font used by London Underground. If you don’t have gillsans installed it is included in the download. Just right click on it and chose install before running the program.
