What are you looking forward to most from the November roadmap for me it would probably be the Mildmay extension and GWE remaster when it eventually gets released
In no particular preference of order (so I'll put it alphabetically instead) Class 805 Class 90 GWE Remaster JT's Preston-Crewe Route
Mildmay extension, class 90, just trains new route, class 805, pacer, cargo line 5 nuclear. Gwe remastered also
I'm not getting caught out by the second of season of reveals, and the finale ends up being a Chuggington DLC! I'll be just watching from the sidelines this year and keeping my expectations low.
I'm hoping there's just a regular roadmap this December since last year's season of reveals was just a spread out roadmap with no Q&A.
The Just Trains route has been the highlight of my year for the previous two and I don’t think this year will be any different. Got a strong feeling Preston Crewe is going to be my favourite in the game too due to it focussing on coal. Off roadmap but I’m also looking forward to the inevitable Black Friday Xbox sale as I only started playing German routes(with safety systems turned on) in January of this year. I’m hoping to buy at least 4 if and when they come on sale
BNSF loco pack, ny-stamford and santa fe gameplay pack btw, judging by the time it took for the santa fe gameplay pack to be released (18 months) we'll probably only see the BNSF loco pack in TSW8 and I wouldn't be surprised if (given how snail-paced ny-stamford is progressing) it becomes the US core route for TSW7 but at least we'll have the santa fe gameplay pack as a way to revive US freight content in TSW
I liked what they did. You got something new almost every day. It was just the big reveal wasn’t what people were hoping for.. I don’t know if they’ll do that again this year. It could well be just a regular roadmap.
The NY-Stamford is def arriving next year in tsw7 lol...Probably in October or August as well. Again when it's TSW7..
JT's Preston - Crewe most interests me as a historic route and JT's track record on great routes. I imagine that route will be released early next year rather than in December. The Czech route intrigues me though.
My personal order would probably be: Day 1 purchase: WCML Crewe-Preston (I would probably buy any historical route day 1) Tadami Line (It's Japan) Liberec - Stara-Paka (New country, looks great quality, includes loco with engine room) BR Class 90 (New freight loco) Class 171 & 377/3 Pack (More South East region content) Buy at some point: Expert DB BR 145 (looks interesting but depends on the price) Lisbon-Setúbal (new countries are always good) BNSF GP60M & GP60B (another B unit sounds good and potentially walkable interior) Cargo Line Vol 5: Nuclear (more interested in the class 20 than the wagon) GWE HST Farewell Pack (it's a shame the guard compartment still won't be enterable) Maybe: NEC New York - Stamford (would be higher if it came with the SW1000R) DB BR 420 TfW Class 142 Pacer Personally not interested in: Avanti BR Class 805 (seems similar to the 801 and 802) Frankenbahn: Stuttgart Heilbronn (another German electric route) Santa Fe Gameplay Pack Not a purchase but looking forward to: Great Western Express - Remaster Mildmay line - Richmond Extension
