It definitely has from what I can tell, this is someone who bought it day one. I know from memory they updated the vegetation, same what they used on the goblin line and enhanced other assets. My only criticisms, Edinburgh Waverley feels a bit deserted, hopefully the upcoming locos can add more life to the route, like Cathcart. Also I’d like to see airplanes taking off and landing at the airport and see a few boats passing under the forth bridge.
Edinburgh Waverley shouldn't be far off of Glasgow Central in this TT, the only train really missing is the 334 (as well as Lumo but that's only a few TPD) A 380 layer, at least, would be nice to see.
The 334 is a train I have wanted to see in both TSW and TSC for years surprised one has never appeared.
I’ve just bought this route. Pleasantly surprised! Also. I know Rivet have committed to adding the Leven branch which got me thinking. Having read on the forums that it’s near impossible to extend routes and add track, I wondered how they’d add the new branch. Would they remake the existing map to add it? So I spawned in near the spur for the Leven branch, which is on the map. Being the curious sort I spawned a train and drove the short spur, expecting it to only extend a short way. Nope. Full branch is there - the track is fully laid to Leven itself. There’s not much in the way of scenery, apart from some roads and a few bridges. Looks like the terraforming is done too. So it’s a safe bet that they’ll be working on scenery assistant open up the branch without needing to be sneaky and drive it.
If the track is there then it's just a case of adding scenery and activating it with a timetable (like MML's freight yards or Meißen on DRA) It's when there's no track (i.e. SEHS to Dartford or LIRR) that it becomes a bit more of a rebuild.
I am curious, as I drove it but recall it being single track, while the new branch is dual track. So I'm interested to see how it is updated, and what timetable they create to accomodate it
I’ve just finished a couple of services on the FC and I’ve got to admit to having enjoyed it. Yes, there are issues with scenery all over the route and some of the building assets are frankly very poor, however the overall ambience of the route is good and I’ve enjoyed driving the 170. If this gets a going over and a bit of spit and polish, it’ll be incredible I’m sure.
I know it's been some time, but just clarifying things - the services via Dunfermline terminate at Glenrothes (with some shorter ones at Cowdenbeath) and the services via Kirkcaldy terminate at Markinch (in-game, that is, since IRL they go further to Dundee and such)?
Did you guys know the Azuma runs on this route? Unfortunately the services are not playable but there is one from Markinch to Waverley at 10:13 and one from Edinburgh to Markinch at 20:20. (Sprinter Timetable) Currently working on the full timetable, should be finished soon ...
There's another Markinch to Waverley at 12:05 or so. While I was in the cab on that one started clicking buttons until I got one of those "you've used the headlamps", or something like that, messages and interestingly enough it said it was a "Lumo Class 803", especially because those don't run there
