    Hate to be that guy when it comes to Rivet Games but ECW is doomed if Rivet has any involvement given their (pardon the pun...) Track Record of DLC for TSW over the years.

    Europe is not the same as the EU. And I imagine the UK has been using DD/MM/YY format since before originally joining what was the Common Market.

    That record is getting worn now! I take it you don't have Riviera or the class 170 pack?

    Further to that it appears they were involved in the GWE remaster which looks great from last night's stream.

    BML deserves a remaster as much as NY Trenton.

    Clearly you don't have any idea the massive scope of Rivet's involvement with TSW. Yes they have released some absolute turd dlc over the years and have no community interaction, BUT they do deliver some quality work including the Class 170, Cardiff City Network and Riviera Line more recently. I'd go as far to say WCMLs could have been decent too (when released) but it was clear time ran out and DTG rushed it out the door with the timetable clearly being unfinished. It's likely that the UK Core Route for TSW7 will also be developed by Rivet Games. At this point in time Rivet seem to be doing a consistently decent job.

    Historically you may have had a point, and I'd agree with their content of the past...

    But can sincerely say, I think there has been a massive change in Rivet behind the scenes. I'm only speculating here, but it does feel as if they have taken on the necessary criticism and done something about it, like recruiting more staff and taking onboard more talent. As has already been pointed out Riveria Line was really good, as was the BCC Class 170 timetable.

    I was always one of Rivets biggest critics in the past, but I'll happily change my opinion when I can see evidence they have changed for the better, and this is one of those cases. I acknowledge the past DLC and it's still a valid criticism, but going forward I'm happy to say I think they have changed. So as far as I'm concerned I'm wiping the slate clean...

    ECW is also within reaching distance which is exciting and looking forward to the return of a modern upto date Southern Region route!

    Rivet should remaster Arosaline to show if they have improved their ways!

    I also think Harlem Line - NY to North White Plains deserves a remaster. The lighting is outdated and that route seems to have been forgotten about. I don't usually hear the devs mentioning that route at all. I don't believe ATC/PTC works properly on the AI trains and the scenery can also use a refresh. It should happen in conjunction with the highly anticipated New Haven line route

    Is NYT really remaster-worthy? It is a TSW3 route with all of the features that brings.

    There's features been brought since but I don't feel that justifies a remaster. There's a reason every remaster as yet has been a TSW2020/2 route.

    Much bigger things to do before NYT, in my opinion.

    Does that statement include the Riviera Line?
