This is Version 1.7 of a Train Driver Simulator, simulating
Class 87 Locos working on the West Coast Main Line from
Euston to Glasgow.
I originally wrote this program for my own use, but I have been persuaded
by friends who have played it, that it was suitable for public release.
I wrote this program with the excellent Blitz2 because the
other train driver simulations advertised for fifteen or twenty quid (UKP)
in the railway mags, are generally text based, with limited options
so I wanted to write a program that made you feel that you were
actually in the cab, and one in which the train behaved realistically,
with proper moving graphics, unlimited options, and was freely available.
This program is aimed at users with a little UK railway knowledge
but anyone can have a go.

SPECIAL NOTE
************
This is expected to be the last freely available version of TrainDriver.
TrainDriver 2 will combine the Route Generator and TrainDriver WCML
into one program including the WCML data files and will be sold
commercially through the UK rail mags. The only alternative is a
great upsurge in the numbers bothering to register!
Those people who have already registered will be offered cheap upgrades.
