Two Brand New Uk Dlcs Found (spoiler Warning)

Any old route that gets Tod 4 + a loco pack would be great, one day for my sweet NTP, TVL and WCL

 

Would love to see NTP get one, it really could do with a new timetable. Leeds and Manchester Victoria are quieter than Stourbridge Town on a Sunday when the 139 has broken down!

Also I find it odd that the freight services have train reporting numbers when you select them but the passenger services just say Leeds to Manchester or vice-versa, when they would be going to Liverpool, Newcastle or Scarborough.

 

Agree on a new timetable.

I think the freight services were added with the Heavy Freight pack a bit later, after DTG had started being more consistent with train reporting numbers.

Good reminder that things DO improve over time just not as quickly as we'd like lol

 

I would hope so, seriously I cant stand driving on routes with the older lighting, I hope one day we can have every route on the same lighting. But for now a TOD4 upgrade is a huge undertaking. When I read Matt explaining what the process is, it just seemed like such a complete nightmare.

 

Not to mention NTP is filled with bugs - I don't think they've ever fixed the Mk2 coaches and oil tankers having borked numbers.

 

If it’s an older timetable on east coast way, voyagers at Brighton

 

The numbers were actually one of the smaller issues

 

Certainly Voyagers on Fife Circle!

 

Indeed, I think this is why the 158 timetable has been delayed

 

A really stupid reason though because you could of done a Birmingham cross city where it gets added later after the it was added instead of making us wait pretty much 2 years

 

I doubt they held up the 158 TT over the Voyager, no way they would have known about it way back when the 158 was made.

In any case it’s probably redundant now anyway, with the I7C coming it’ll have a new TT for that & id be surprised if it excluded the 158.

 

I saw someone say in a thread the Skyhook confirmed that the 158 timetable doesn't have a Voyager.

Not like it matters much anymore now dtg appear to have quietly canned it for a Rivet made 43 timetable instead, an add on I shall not buy out of principle after the fiasco that was the 158 timetable. If I was Skyhook I'd certainly be considering my relationship with dtg since at the end of the day it's skyhooks promises that have been broken and their products left unreleased through no fault of their own

 

You know, in a way Riviera reminds me of NTP. Not the scenery or the driving or anything else concrete; rather a distinctive rural route lovingly done with loads of local character- one of course now very old-school and the other representing what TSW can look like in 2025. So bringi9ng NTP up to the same standard would be sort of appropriate.

 

In Brighton's current form on ECW, you could probably just get away with having Voyager AI services on it, representing up until the end of 2008, when those services were withdrawn, but it would still be pretty empty on AI sevices compared to 2017/2018, which would have a much larger amount of AI services thanks to the Class 313, Class 700's and Class 387's that weren't around in 2008, whereas if it was set around 2008 it mostly be 377's, the 171 and potentially various First Great Western DMU's (Class 166, 158 and 150) on the WCW line (Class 166 would be best with the unbranded First Great Western livery coming with GWE Remaster and not available without Creators Club for the other 2), as the game doesn't have the Class 319 or Class 442 for the First Capital Connect or Gatwick Express services.

 

No evidence that is the case yet, the scotrail class 43 is pretty like the 37/7 a £5 pack made to layer and not to be a full timetable because this just wouldn’t make sense to cancel a timetable that was like a month away from release before tsw 6 (/ the yearly waste of time)

 

Why would they make it all if that's the case then? If Skyhook have already said the Voyager isn't in the 158 timetable, the scotrail 43 clearly won't be either. I've been saying for a while I'm slightly suspicious that dtg have quietly canned it, now we have an add on that quite clearly will end up doing the same thing basically

 

One would hope in any case that the E2G timetable is given a full and thorough rework with any Inter7City HST sets... If Tylers involved we will be in for a treat.

 

Why would they make a new e2g timetable when Skyhook already did that?

 

Did 700s ever run to Eastbourne? They don't seem to now, but I know they have had a few extra destinations since the Thameslink renewal.

 

The only issue about a new Fife Circle timetable is that we have nothing for the LNER services although we're so close.

We have LNER Azumas, but not the bi-mode.
We have bi-mode IETs, but not in LNER livery.
We have HSTs, but not in LNER livery.

Just one of these would provide a near-complete timetable.

 

They used to but the service was withdrawn when the timetables were cut back for the pandemic. They've actually only just reinstated it, it's only a run that happened once a day in each direction though - a morning run departing from Eastbourne at 6:48AM and arriving in London Bridge by 8:25AM, and then an afternoon run the other way departing London Bridge at 5:03PM and finishing in Eastbourne at 6:43PM.

 

Ah, then that would be a perfect time to set the timetable. 4 different units to drive.
