    Hello after a quick think I have decided to make a thread for all the great scenarios for the 700 out there as there are so many! I was going to put it in creation centre but though it would be seen by more people and therefore be more beneficial in the TSW discussion (if a mod wants to move it feel absolutely free though).
    So I think the baseline that should be set out are the title and any required dlc/liveries as a minimum and if you know the duration or have any screenshots great, if not there's no sweat. I would start us off but can't remember any off the names of any I have played off the top of my head but will add a couple tomorrow.
    To try and create a ranking syetem I will put the number of members that recommend the scenario next to it. To recommend a scenario give the post which mentions it a like or create your own post if you want to add more detail to it. Alternatively send me a private conversation thing on the forum and I will add your recommendation of a scenario if you would prefer to remain anonymous for whatever reason.

    NOTE: It doesn't have to be a scenario you have made but one which is on creators club.

    Here is the list of scenario names and they are linked to their Creators Club page and recommendation post to make finding them easier:

    The first scenario I would like to add is one called 'Class 700 on Brighton Mainline' and it just so happens this is one done by tft#6439 who is also a member of the forum. As I said to him I have played through this one twice and enjoyed both runs so I think it is a good one for a nice chilled run from Brighton to East Croydon stopping at Haywards Heath and Gatwick Airport on the way.

    The required dlc is the class 700 and London Commuter and no custom liveries.

    Here is the link to the Creators Club page.

    Here are a few screenshots I took:
    class 700 bml tft.jpeg
    class 700 hh bml tft.jpeg
    class 700 & 387 bml tft.jpeg
    class 700 EC bml tft.jpeg

    So to finish off, remember if you have played this scenario and enjoyed it give this post a like or create your own post to recommend it to others.

    There was one I did from Three Bridges to East Croydon, it had a great bit in where a train passes over you on a bridge and you get a red as you have to be on that track, if you're really on it, you can just about beat it, I'll try and find which one it is....

    I created a shuttle service from Brighton to Gatwick Airport during engineering works. It's a fairly straightforward run to Gatwick but there are a couple of engineering trains at Gatwick Airport. No liveries are required.

    Not really sure what you can achieve on a route as busy as London Brighton with a max of 20 services to play from.
    I have downloaded one scenario on the route and although its good. Its just bland. Its not the creators fault. You can only have a max of twenty services and the pathways are not really that good. Unfortunately scenario creator for routes as busy as Brighton mainline just just does not do it justice.

    I tried to have mine from Redhill to Brighton or Brighton to Redhill and it can't be done, can't choose it. You can't even choose to stop at all Stations between Brighton and Gatwick Airport which is just bizarre.

    I am not aware of this limit, genuine question/no console bashing, but is this a console thing? On PC it lets you have more than 20 services per scenario and more than 30 scenarios per route (i dont remember having a mod installed that does anything like this, so its vanilla) on BML im close to 40/30 scenarios

    Type “Engineering shuttle service” and you should find the scenario, then you can click on his tag in the scenario description and this will show all Marc’s work. The search engine on scenario planner is rubbish sometimes. ( sorry if I’m telling you things you already know). He has some good scenarios. :)

    i just played a 700 scenario i believe called Gatwick Airport to Bedford and it was pretty fun, 7am-ish start and you get a lot of aspects throughout the journey, i’d definitely recommend:)

    Drove one yesterday, Bedford to Brighton, 9T47, by Drawyah. Was a very nice run with space to let the 700 stretch its legs.

    It is crazy to think that before the 700 was out i’d play bml once in a blue moon… and now that it is in game, even only being the RLU it’s made the route way more interesting

    Right, so I have just fired TSW up and played one of Tom's scenarios called '(TF) Thameslink ECR - Gatwick and it is an excellent scenario mate with plenty of AI running about and so plenty of signal checks. I actually really enjoyed it and would play it again if there weren't more of ypur scenarios to keep me occupied. A great job mate!

    It toom me 30 minutes to do the run and the dlc requirements are, Class 700, SEHS, LBN, ECW and GWE.

    Here is the Creators Club link

    And here are my screenshots:

    Like I said before like this post or quote it if you have played and enjoyed this scenario!

    It was brilliant mate. I have got a day off tomorrow so I am hoping I will get the dreaded list out of the way in the morning and then play through a couple more of your scenarios and then give the Peak a blast on NTP. So on my day off from driving trains I am going to spend my day driving trains!:D
