    Hi, I recently bought the new WCML MKC - Crewe route and was looking through the timetable and noticed is was quite empty. One of the articles stated that the XC 220 would be layered in with 2 driveable services, but they're not listed - even with the layer turned on.

    I was about to buy one of the freight add-ons to try and get more than 2 freight services but if the layers are missing, what's the point?

    I own all the freight dlc there is and you dont grt much. With class 66 scotrail blue you get 3 full runs and at least 10 yard moves. And wcml class 66 you get about 12 different jobs. Mainly short runs. The freight is very underwhelming. To be honest.

    Damn, that's a shame. Is there much AI? That's mainly the reason I was wanting it as there's hardly any AI as it is

    I thought this route would have way more freight the it does.

    I also like steam locomotives, but do you happen to have two timetables? There are two 220 series trains.

    Hi iAspex the layers menu does not impact playable services. However, the developer has confirmed this is an issue with the timetable, not your content. We hope to have this resolved in a future update.

    With regard to the freight, there are quite a few services but they are sort of "hidden" behind the various liveries, some have one or two services and others have dozens. I think it might be a core issue as the same thing happens on other routes with other stock, services being assigned to certain livery variants.

    Interesting regarding the 220 though, I've got it on my timetable (PC/Steam as well)

    Update: We've found that you also need to have Birmingham - Crewe installed. This may not be intentional, so we've fed this back to the developer.

    Thank you all for the help. I don't have BHM - Crewe but it's a little strange that that's the DLC it requires lol. It is a shame about the lack of freight though that other people mentioned, the lack of AI freight at least makes it feel so empty

    Class 37 timetable task Part 2 leaves me in Crewe Yard with a Denied. Check Switches that i have not yet solved. I tried reducing Layers. Save, Reload. I am suspicious as it shows me missing layers that are right there to be seen in game.

    Does it have regular AI freight at Nuneaton?
    I was kind of looking forward to that, as it’s a favourite station.
    To my knowledge there’s yet to be a route with AI freight? Only seems to be playable ones.
    B’ham-Crewe needs them passing Stafford, but there’s nothing.

    If there is, I've not seen any. I've only seen one on a scenario, none on timetable. There really isn't much, if any

    Oh god. How disappointing. Was looking forward to this route.
    Might pick it up when it’s half price or so, but not interested for now

    I agree, it's very disappointing. There's a 4 track mainline with no services to actually use the 4 tracks as they're meant to be!
