I'm sorry to start yet another thread about Locomotion.  I have
two questions.  Two things that bug me about Transport Tycoon
are:
1. the dire track-laying algorithm that the computer controlled
companies use.
2. the over simplistic routing algorithm which causes trains to
easily get lost on complex networks.

So my questions are, for Locomotion, has Chris Sawyer bothered to
take some time to research and implement algorithms which:
1. result in sensible computer controlled company track layouts?
2. get trains from starting point to destination without any
possibility of them getting lost en route?

TIA

Mike
