Easily the most coherent system I have ever used. Why wasn't it used as a template for Dublin? Similar sized cities, similar layout [albeit Perth is west facing, Dublin east]. An excellent system. As regards the digging up of roads to build a light rail system, It is a necessary evil buit the long term benefits VASTLY outweigh the short term hassle as can be seen in Dublin, with our two unlinked tram/Luas lines. When new roads are being built a future provision for light rail should be incorporated into them. Either by burying the track... or creating a ditch were the track eventually will go.

I think that I can quite catergorically say that mt cities suck ass in comparison to these!

Mother of Lord... I truly have a lot to aim for!

It is annoying that there are no Euro type streets. I'm just happy that I can build Ireland. It seems though that you influence your cities the way that you want... ie. my cities end up very European looking regardless of what I do... Just need to get that Dublin Bus logo on the bus stops. Need to learn the lot editor better.

Just started on Ireland the other night. 2 regions started... East Leinster and North Dublin... We're at about 150000 in total. I'd like to get it to 5.5million for the island in total. It's teh only one I play.
