PS5 I recently saw a picture of tankers... was that probably added as a spawn to the map or are there tanker trains running there somewhere? I only have containers and I don't even see that Cargo packs activate anything else?
had the 47 LE going at 127mph once on WCMLos the tankers would of been added as there are no tanker services though piccadilly. also there was a silly amount of them on said train
The HuD most of the time shows Vmax for the line, not the train's Vmax. It is up to the driver to observe what his train's Vmax should be.
Yes I know this, but I've noticed AI 323s breaking the train's Vmax (90) and going the line's Vmax (110). I noticed this by going to the 2D map and hovering over an AI 323 and their target speed is 110mph and their moving speed is also 110mph. You can even notice it clearly when they past you, way too fast for a 323.
Thank you! I'll try that. I haven't encountered this problem before. Maybe I really do need to check the switches.
Yes, I believe AT did it where you have to do it on your own despite having a setting Automatically set Manual junctions. You still have to do it on your own. Took me a few wonders but figured it out. Make sure you have all points that are on your path otherwise a risk of derailment. If any problems I am happy to do a video about it
I've been finding that if I turn off the freight services layer, it's helped quite a bit. Bit of a shame to do so, but of all of them, freight is one I can do without. Other than that, been enjoying the various services, different trains, different setups, different TOCs, and the two timetables on offer.
PS5 Service 5H40 Longslight Depot - Crewe Makes the game crash, and also crashes when you try to spawn at Longslight Depot. It’s a timetable service and part of the journey’s chapters.
Enjoying this route , scenery very good, and it’s all quite immersive. Would perhaps like the signalling to be more realistic , with approach control etc .
Yep, agreed, maybe would be good to hear occasionally from ATS what their plans are for any updates? Still my top route so far.
This route is excellent btw. Just a couple of things I wanted to raise, however. I have experienced multiple game crashes using PS5 (probably 30-40% of journeys). Is this something you are aware of and actively looking to resolve?. Also, where is the bridge reverb?! lol Thanks
few from me tonight bench on piccadilly P5 AWS grid on the down style line for the 40mph speed restriction to the airport no ding from the grid missing speed signs on the piccadilly approach the scissor points should all have a 15mph sigh and the down east and down slow should have 25mph signs. have a look at don coffey's cab ride vid on you tube there are a few more missing but i cannot make them out as yet Missing OHLE on the slow line just after heaton chapel also its worth noting that from a locals point of view, the EMA 158s and the TfW stuff that that i have seen has never run as a six car set. EMA has always been 2 158s, but in more recent times it has been 2 3 car 170s. TfW stuff ether 2 150s or 2 153s and a 150 sometimes with a 153 ether end of a 150
There was a mega lash-up a couple of years back with something like 5 x 153s on a Manchester to Carmarthen service You are right though, the TfW services in game are a bit overkill.
i've just done my first EMA 158 service 1L14 on the weekday timetable in the six car set and there is a big pathing issue in that you go through the longsight north crossover to the depot to pick up the up slow on a 15mph turnout. it should be going across at slade lane junction. only trains using longsight north are those going into/out of longsight. i also hope that slade lane can be rectified in its trackwork without too much disruption to all the other work timetables paths etc, now i've seen it, it is a big issue with the route. also there are speed signs missing on the up and down slow lines on the approach to Piccadilly.
Game crashed series s coming on the approach into Manchester piccadily, apart from that, the route performs fine including Longbridge depot
tl:dr Did ATS give any undertaking to fix the sections of track with sub standard clearance, where trains are striking each other?
Remember it's only what is available to the game creators, hence why West Midlands Railway / London North western was substituted for TransPennine Express services. TfW used Class 175, engine traction (I would like to say a Class 67 or something). When you say 2 158s do you mean the 4 carriage which is run between Nottingham / Sheffield to Manchester /Liverpool Lime Street or the 2 carriages as on the ECML route between Grantham to Peterborough vice versa for the Nottingham to Norwich / Norwich to Nottingham section of the services. Don't you agree it's a bonus that this route is included on multiple add ones since it's a long route.
Yep, would be good to get some sort of update from them at some point. I really hope they continue with TSW, clearly they are a superb collection of route builders going by this offering. I guess they need to see if it's financially viable to continue with this platform.
Not OP here, TfW did use 175s but then briefly replaced them with 158s (usually just a single set) on the NWC-Airport route, 150s and 153s did appear quite often on the Manchester-South Wales route until the 67s came in. As for EMT 158s, yes they ran as 2x 2 car sets for years until around covid times (I think) when 2x 170s dropped on, though it still is mostly 2x158s. There is a 6 - sometimes 8 car 158 working first thing with an ECS running to Liverpool via Chat Moss but I believe it is a diverted working, or just tied to engineering works somewhere as it is not a regular runner. Yes I think they did quite well with the layers and subbing, though maybe they could tweak it so that the 150/153s are not overkill and maybe bring in the 158s (the TfW 158 already came with it quietly - it's available to spawn in freeroam).
yeah i do agree, i dont mind the 350s being layered in, my point was TfW 150s/153s have mostly been 4 car sets to the norm phil above points out that the 175s were used in a 2x2 config for a 4 coach service fair point, the 67s do still run but only on the cardiff and holyhead services EMR have always been X2 158s from BR days. only recently have EMR started putting on x2 3 car 170s for a 6 car set or x2 2 car sets for a 4 car train not too much wrong with the route as a whole still enjoying it
Fantastic route and I love the effort. You can tell the level of care that went into it. Honestly I hope that we get more routes from this guy. He has talent. My only issue is that it keeps crashing. I'm on an Xbox S and I can't seem to get beyond Stockport before things crash. But that could be down to anything
I believe the crashes are on the approach into Piccadilly as I haven't had any going the other direction. I have done services from piccadily and the game had been fine (xbox series s)
