    Oh no it gets worse! That bumps the price up to £40!! I'm certain in real life DIRFT let's in more than just Blue 66's :D

    Just to check, do I definitely need the Glasgow - Edinburgh route for the engineering pack to work on Trent valley? I don't mind spending a tenner but £40! Got to feed the kids this week!!

    I do think you need the route for what it was originally made for. To be able to use it on other routes. Could not just buy it and if does not work get refund.

    The engineering pack was released after TSW 3 so no you would not need Edinburgh Glasgow.

    Does anyone know how many services the Engineering Express pack unlocks across all routes and timetables (including modded)?
    I'm trying to see if I can justify the purchase.

    Very good, just make sure the tail-lamp hasn't been left on the front ;)

    (Just a little joke as some of the DRS 66s have the tail lamp stuck on the front).

    Great route, really enjoying it. Although it does make the MACs ending at Alderley Edge a glaring omission. Imagine being able to run from Manchester to London Euston with route hopping at Crewe and Milton Keynes.

    Yeah wouldn't it have been great to do a full run Eus - Man picc! ATS ended MAC in a very random & premature place.

    I really think DTG should pick up MAC and finish it off to Crewe, because ATS clearly aren't going to do it (they're on the record stating that even just fixing the track would be too much work). It would then justify selling it as a full price WCML: Crewe to Manchester route with a major discount for existing owners of MAC
