What Modern Day Uk Route Would You Like To See In The Upcoming Tsw Game Release Later This Year

put your ideas in the comments below

Disclaimer:

and please do not come at me for saying the upcoming tsw game I am not trying to spread misinformation or trying to create leaks etc etc

 

My local station is Coventry so would love to see the missing link of Milton Keynes-Birmingham New Street.

I think it's likely we see it soon in one way or the other as the bit between MK and Rugby could be duplicated from Trent Valley and from Rugby to New Street is less than 40 miles. Adding the Northampton loop shouldn't be too much work should they want to put it in.

 

My top picks would be:

1. Chiltern Main Line with a class 68
2. Chatham Main Line with Ramsgate
3. C2C with the Rainham branch
4. Merseyrail

 

It doesn't matter as long as it's a new company and differents rolling stock because I feel like since TSW 5 we're always dealing with the same companies, only Cardiff with TFW is new.

But if I had to choose one, it would be c2c and the LTS line

 

London Fenchurch Street to shoeburyness with all branches set in the mid 90s.

 

I think that would be awesome to see I mean we already have birmingham to crewe and wcml south euston to milton keynes and trent valley is up and coming I dont think this will be the last of the wcml we get in the game but yeah you never know

 

I did say this thread is for modern routes sorry I can always create a thread for routes set in the. past

 

nice suggestion

 

I was ment to mid 10s . Im doing 1000 things at once lol but 90s would be good as well.

 

that would be awesome I wouldnt mind seeing a route with the stadler flirts either but awesome suggestion

 

no problem at all mate

 

Ditto, not surprisingly since it's my local route and I've been cheerleading for it to be added to TSW for years. It has to be the entire route though, from Shoeburyness to London Fenchurch Street with both the main line and the Tilbury loop.

 

Either;

• Doncaster to Leeds (with the class 91 as the deluxe loco)
• Doncaster to Cleethorpes
• Or a Sheffield route (perhaps combine 1 and 3 but maybe that'll be too much)

Basically what my signature says lol

 

nice suggestion very solid ideas

 

how long is the entire route

 

Another vote for c2c/LTS.
London Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness. includes Ockendon branch and Tilbury loop

Freight for Tilbury 1 and 2 and London Gateway
class 357 and 720 as passenger stock.

please

 

nice

 

Northern section of the ECML - Newcastle to Berwick or maybe Edinburgh.
Wherry Lines - Norwich to Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Sheringham.
GWR - Reading to Bristol TM via both Box and Badminton or...
Swindon to Cardiff Central via Severn Tunnel.
GE Suburban - Liverpool Street to Southend.

 

C2C or Greater Anglia

 

London Waterloo to either Portsmouth or Weymouth, including Class 450, 444, 701 and 458.
London Liverpool Street to Norwich.
The North Wales line.
Cardiff to Shrewsbury.
Kings Cross - Peterborough including the Hertford Loop.

There are so many good route options, unfortunately I don’t think we will see any of these.

 

Another options for me:

ECML York-Newcastle (if possible Doncaster-Newcastle for it to be joined to the existing ECML route)
Bristol-Cardiff or Swansea
NWML Crewe-Holyhead

 

waterloo to weymouth would be a stretch tbh

 

I like the idea of a Waterloo Commuter route encompassing as many lines as possible.

Waterloo - Guildford via Woking
Waterloo - Guildford via Coham
Waterloo - Hampton Court
Waterloo - Shepperton
Waterloo - Weybridge
Waterloo - Chessington South
Waterloo - Reading (at a stretch)

I'm probably missing one or two more but I think it has the potential to be really interesting. We already have the PDL in TSC and IMO it's quite nice to look at visually but isn't the most fun to drive. On the other hand we don't have much of the commuter lines in TSC.

If DTG were willing to they could turn back the clock only a few years for maximum variety: we could have the 707, 458, 455, 456, 444, and 450 all running about. Including Woking and Guildford allows for some fast and semi-fast runs as well. Would be a massive route but would definitely be worth it.

 

Don't think Stadler allow access to their stuff for modelling recently (ATS 745/755 for TSC being the exception)

 

it was about time SWR was in the game

 

For me probs inverness to aberdeen, or aberdeen to dundee

 

that would be cool if rivet do a good job also it has been two years now since we last got a scottish route in tsw

 

TBH i would love the full route from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, it's a truly beautiful route, lots of inclines and speed changes to keep you occupied too.

 

MML St Pancras to Bedford circa 2018 HST and Class 222 with class 700.

 

For me, ECML Kings Cross Peterborough, or some route with BTM, or North Wales Coast.

 

oh yeah for sure

 

very interesting choices

 

I’d much rather see TSW expand the ECML for LNER beyond the usual Peterborough–Doncaster section. A full London King’s Cross to York route—covering Peterborough, Doncaster, and York—would capture the real character of the line far better.

And if they ever extended it all the way to Edinburgh, it would finally give players a true sense of what the full long‑distance LNER experience feels like in real life.

 

Merseyrail electrics, if we have modern time then it will be those new 777 units but 507/508s could be made easily enough if the devs used the 313/314 that already exists to make a much more exciting transition period. It has some "stop start" but also longer runs as well as the underground section in Liverpool city centre giving a really good mix of passenger workings.

 

Liverpool to York with a Deltic.
Merseyrail.

 

London to Ipswich

 

I know I talk about ECML so much with a class 91 but I don't think I need to say anything else

 

I’m always going to be biased towards Scottish content when it comes to UK routes so I’d like to see a new Glasgow Route. A long one. Not another Cathcart Circle type route. I’m gonna say something like Glasgow - Crianlarich.

 

Oh yeah !
With a DLC pack featuring the Caledonian Sleeper which would layer onto the WCML routes !

 

40 miles end to end on the main line via Basildon. About twice that much track in total including the Tilbury loop and Ockendon branch.

 

ECMLS, Or maybe a MMLS (both set in modern day)

 

Bit of a stretch, but the Swindon-Bristol-Gloucester triangle would be amazing. Even better if they could tack Westbury on the side…

Or how about a more freight-oriented route like Westbury-Cardiff, if it was set a couple of years back it’d be a great route for the upcoming class 70, and another playground for the GWR 80x and 166. Throw in a GWR variant of the 158 too?

 

Inverness to Aberdeen


With the Class 158, 170 and HST’s being the driven force.

No AHLE, A/C power here. It’s a DMU paradise.

A fairly long route though, clocking in at around 108 miles and pushing just over the 2 hour mark journey time.

 

Birmingham to Peterborough via Leicester for me.

Using Cross Country 170, layers could include 220, EMT HST, EMT 158, LNER 801, etc etc.

 

And would use the ScotRail HST as well

 

I am not from Great Britain and have no Idea if something like this would be possible.

I would love to See the Missing Link between Southeastern High-speed and Medway Valley Line.

Faversham - Ashford International - Tonbridge

 

That would be absolutely amazing

 

You could also add the Caledonian sleeper too, not sure what traction its using atm tho

 

It would I think we are due for another Scottish route soon.

 

I think too adding to that the Liberty line (3 miles), that wouldn't be bad idea.
