I've not tried the Excalibur simulation but the Cities in Motion simulations are not without problems - they require a lot of RAM and are inherently unstable on most normal PCs - tend to crash after major route expansions (so need to be constantly saved); the available vehicles are usually quite low capacity in relation to traffic levels (and the maps will not cope with high frequency services, mainly because of excessively slow loading times - maybe a function of system memory requirements?). You need to check carefully which games run on which version of Windows: CiM runs on Windows 7 but won't run on anything older and, despite Microsoft's claims of backwards compatibility, probably won't run on Windows 8. For the same reason, don't expect games that run on XP/Vista to run on 7.

LU - World of Subways is very good, but it needs a "gaming" computer to run it well, so I've never had the chance to experience it in full.

London one is not a seperate game. Will be the last CiM1 DLC, after which in Q2 2013 CiM2 will be released, which means only one thing for me: Metro-land!

Not exactly a simulation but OpenTTD is another good transportation game. Based on the old Transport Tycoon games of the 1990s and it is seriously addictive. It is free which is always a bonus!
