Patch File for Route - Needs route to be downloaded first (via Subscribe) 

(Reason for patch - the route is listed as final and can't be updated any further)

Fixes: 

• Issue with AI collision at Faversham on Northbound Quick Drive scenario
• Issue with Missing Track Texture north of Ebbsfleet (just before tunnel)
• Signal on Track at Ebbsfleet (this one was copied from London to Faversham)

2012 - Description

This route merges Chatham Main Line to London to Faversham and the Sheerness on Sea Branch routes, this version is set in 2012 so will have the original Rochester and Gravesend stations present, as well as the Rainham Station without a bay platform. This route would be suitable for BR Blue / Grey to current Southeastern although not as good for 2015 onwards where stations and track has been changed more recently. (although earlier than Southeastern may look out of place with Southeastern signage everywhere though - but would work better on the 2012 route than the 2016 one :) )

I know people are going to make suggestions for extensions and routes to join, I do have some planned but only have a finite time in free time, so may not be able to do most requests unfortunately. (PS if you suggest a 100 mile route for me, I would have to say no)

For those that want a route with New Gravesend, Rochester and Rainham please go here - 2016 Version
Notes: 

• Some quick drives may not work
• Route should be complete

• Added Portal After Ebbsfleet area. 
• Fixed Quick Drive issue into Victoria
• Fixed Red Light Issue Exiting Victoria to Faversham
• Removed AI heading into Faversham on Quickdrive (Northbound)

  Notes - Can't add Southern or other rolling stock to AI because of how it is set up - if i add the route to the Southern / FCC stock it will appear everywhere), the Javelin is similar in that it would also appear in the wrong places.
