    in terms of performance, it apparently doesn't matter if the services are drivable or AI. Once they are there, they take up the same amount of memory either way.

    We've had 2 UK remasters and a German one recently.
    Time for a US remaster of Harlem ( with a northern extension ) and/or a remaster of NYT with perhaps a Philly extension and inclusion of the freight component that was dropped from he current route dlc.

    I thought it was based on how many different trains are loading? So the BML has the 387 and 377 (I believe) and the 465 / 375 around Victoria. So the route is mostly loading just two types of train. If that was then the 171/7, 171/8, 313, 700/1 and then all the 377 variants it would end up quadrupling the memory usage?

    I really would love to see a TVL remaster. It’s such a great route and would be even better if brought up to latest standards.

    Always seemed odd to me that the NTP 47 wasn't ported over to Tees Valley, but imagine the variety now if it was remastered. Ok there's still no Intercity era HST to represent ECML services, but you could have 47s and Mark III to represent that, 101s and 142s, maybe even the 150/2 (Though I don't think they were accurate to the area at the time.), JT 20s, remastered 31s, 47s. Maybe even a 56 or 58 etc etc. Whitby services as AI as well. There's so much that could be done with it now.

    This sort of thing? (I must get around to releasing the scenarios to go with the paths mod).

    I would say a remaster of BML is inevitable and more so given what has been said on recent livestreams with Matt.

    What I think needs a remaster is the Bakerloo Line with WCML traffic since its fairly dead in that capacity. Given this DLC came out like a million years ago with TSW 2, it is starting to show its age visually. Maybe even a boost in the timetable given how stagnated services currently are.

    I'm in this camp ^

    I really want to see BML remastered and the recent Southern fleet fully represented, but I'd rather save the 455/456 and London Bridge for a South London Network route (exactly as suggested above with the full LBG <> BKJ and VIC <> WCY as well as the loop, with Southeastern, TL and LO trackage included too where appropriate). Then maybe have another SN 377 variant (possibly the /6 or /7) or GX 442 to fund the BML remaster.

    Once all that is sorted, have the 73 as a standalone DLC that layers onto these, MVL and SEHS :cool: job done!
