Don't ask me how I found this (funny things happen while browsing youtube)

I found this video particularly enjoyable. I suggest you give it a watch.

that's brilliant! I particularly enjoyed the way he totally missed Baker Street, and failed to stop anywhere near the correct point at any station.

Station graphics were quite realistic (although King's Cross platforms weren't quite right). The one under was a bit traumatising though.

Hilarious. Particularly what happened after Liverpool Street when he ended up on the track to Aldgate East, which obviously hadn't been written into the game. Terrible programming.

That really was odd. "Hmm, we aren't going to programme the simulator to handle the H&C, but we'll still allow Aldgate Junction to send you to Aldgate East.

Other than that it looks like a very good simulator. I've got the previous one, which covers the U7 on the Berlin U-Bahn and it's a cracker. It's just a shame that they haven't either included the H&C, or the S stock.

I'm really looking forward to their new release, Camping Manager!

This one sounds quite fun though: http://is.gd/ouchybanana

That is, without hyperbole, the funniest video I've watched on YouTube this year! Perhaps it's the vision of Neil sitting in an unresponsive HST at Paddington screaming "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" that does it.
