Hi guys

Today new BVE4 launch screens were released. These new screens replace the generic loading screens with various London Underground Trains. They are surely superb and credit goes out to James Galbraith, who created them.

Download them now from http://www.docklandslightrail.com

Lines included are the Bakerloo, District, Metropolitan, Central and Jubilee Lines. More are on their way including the DLR (Docklands Light Railway)

Now if you would like a U.S one made, please visit www.docklandslightrail.com and use the email address to email the creator with an ideal pic

As said by JayJay he has released the fixed version of the X route files to use the new tunnel walls.  They can be downloaded in the downloads section. Thanks.

After an extremely long wait, the Jubilee line is now released from Green Park to Bermondsey! The recommended stock for the time being is the 1995 stock due to problems with the Jubilee 1996 stock. The route is definitely worth a run and is extremely high in quality. Happy Operating!
