    In Your Opinion What's Your Most Favourite TSW Route For Example Mine Is Preston To Carlisle Because Of The Class 87 Driving It Is Particularly Easy For Me (I Don't Know If I've Done One Of These On General Discussion Before I Think I Have)

    West Cornwall Local someone ? :D

    Just kidding, and I find a certain charm in it, despite obvious flaws.
    Personally, it's the combination of WCMLS and the Trent Valley. By far. :cool:

    Hard to tell, as there are multiple routes I very much like to play and enjoy:

    Linke rheinstrecke
    Bremen - Oldenburg
    Salzburg - Rosenheim

    Also S-bahn Frankfurt and Zwolle - Groningen are high on my favorite list.

    I'm not that much into UK routes, but my favorite UK route is likely an odd one for many: Glossop line. I like the 323, Nothern colors and rural landscape of this route.

    In no particular order, these are my favourites:
    Southeastern High Speed
    East Coastway
    Mannheim-Kaiserslautern
    WCML Euston to MK
    Zwolle-Groningen
    Medway Valley
    NY-Stamford
    Mittenwaldbahn
    S-Bahn Vorarlberg

    Edit: honourable mention to Manchester Airport. Well made route, but a little limited. Might bump it if class 90 services are added :)

    Apart from the odd sound squelching it has to be for UK WCML Over Shap.

    For Europe, probably the Czech route with Mittenwaldbahn a close second.

    All the US routes currently uninstalled as compared to TSC (where my favourite is probably Feather River Extended) or Run 8 the experience is not that great on the freight route and most of the commuter routes got boring very quickly.

    Zwolle - Groningen. I mean, I know it's not a spectacular route, but as a Dutch person, at least it feels familiar unlike any other route.

    Leipzig Dresden for me, mostly due to the 145 Ex, there's just so much to do!
    But apart from that, probably Bremen Oldenburg.

    Yea these are great routes and Stamford happens to be my favorite route. Just can get over how many trains they squeeze through only four tracks just before GCT
    My list in no typical order but for the US specifically has to be Stamford as my favorite route.
    LIRR2
    Stamford
    London commuter -to this date my most played route with over 530+ played
    WCML crewe- Birmingham and WCML south with the 805/807 TT
    NYT-just love getting the Acela to 150.
    I left out Morristown at the moment because of the issues with no passengers getting on any multilevels. ☹️

    Without a doubt, my favorite route is the Medway Valley Line!

    I’m completely hooked on this route and I just can’t get enough of it. In my opinion, no other TSW DLC even comes close to the quality and playability of this product from Firefly Simulations.

    And it’s also probably the only TSW expansion that’s virtually bug-free.

    NJT Morristown. Lately 90% of the time I play TSW, I'm running this route. Typically, nice long consist with a braking system that felt intimidating at first, but I've now mastered it. It feels like I'm running a real train.

    I'm here to share my love for the Cardiff Commuter lines. (Full disclosure: I travelled on this route for 15 years or more, so I'm obviously incredibly biased). The routes are not overly long and who doesn't love a clunky old diesel?
    Other faves: Riviera Line, Zwolle-Groningen, Bakerloo (ok super repetitive, but good for a quick run when you've got a little time to spare).
    I've only been playing for lees than a month, so opinions are subject to change.
