The east coast mainline is an iconic line in Britain. London - Grantham - Leeds -York - Durham - Newcastle, then possibly on to Edinburgh. This would be a great addition to the game!
Class 91 and Class 43 HST LNER Livery. Hire class 90 DB Schenker livery. Class 66 Freightliner, EWS, GBRF and DRS various freight. New Azuma LNER Class 800, 801 formation 5 car, 9 car, 10 car, 14 car, 15 car or 18 car.
Maybe just sections of the ECML will make sense, like a Edinburgh-Berwick or Darlington-York. As beaker998 said it is too long for TSW
I’d love to see the Class 91 in the InterCity Swallow livery on the ECML, maybe Doncaster to York or York to Darlington But it’s not though, TrainSim-Matt has already stated that they can build any length for TSW2020, it’s the time to actually create the route which is the biggest issue.
At the moment, I’d personally like to see DTG expand the collection with shorter route for now. Then we can get into longer routes that take more time.
Ah, I just believed that they couldn’t run larger routes. Nice to know it is possible to exceed that 50 mile mark
Yeah, from what I understand it loads in “one tile” at a time so they could make a 300 mile route if they wanted/had the time and resources to do so.
Correct and confirmed several times by DTG. It does mean that the continental routes become possible, if implausible dev wise
It is possible to build the route. However, the longer the route the more trains & assets needed to run. This would only mean that computers would high levels of RAM would be able to run the route. It would also not be able to be released on Console.
Depends on whether the assets are all loaded at once. There are always going to be pinch points at major stations, but out in the wilds the limitation shouldn't apply, so depends whether assets can port in and out or whether they're all "just there"
If I may I would like to add one word to this discussion which IMHO would add considerably to the appeal of an ECML route perhaps to the point of making it an essential purchase for some including yours truly: Deltic. (Mmm... Deltics.)
