PC Tsw6 - 200 Years Of Trains. Coincidence?

That era's underrepresented even in TS. I'd love to see more from it, but the market doesn't seem to be there. Then again, it's become popular in the last few years in model railways, so there is a chance.

 

I think the new TSW6 Have something to do with the poll that we were given to give feedback to them, which include question like what would we as a fan would like to see added or improve in the game sometime early this year, because Matt have not announced the result of that feedback survey. Now that we are getting so close to TSW 6, i am just curious about what the train community or rail fan have choose as their top priority feature or changes that they would like to see based on the poll. I think some of the ideas and choice, was new game modes such as dispatcher- dispatch train in tower, there was also something about multiplayer, add on layers to routes, able to change to another train route on the same map with out going out to the main screen, longer routes for commuter train, train announcements in station and on the train, more realistic train sound like clickely clack, and etc. I don't remember the rest. If anyone remember this survey or was able to get a snapshot of it and post it it would really help.

 

Aww, this thread got a mention in this video by TSS

 

What are your trying to say?

 

Football Manager 26 is coming in November, so I think TSW6 will have a Scottish route with Class 26s.

The Big Gathering for 200 years of UK railways is not the only big rail event this year. Three franchises have been nationalised as the return to publicly owned railways begins. DTG may ignore both and do their own thing, I think that's the most likely outcome for TSW6.

 

That isn't a big thing. The franchises have expired and been given to the Operator of Last Resort. The management is the same, and some of the OLR-run franchises are worse than when they were privately run. The process has been happening the several years already. Great British Railways, the organisation that is supposed to manage the railway, doesn't even exist yet.

 

Not to mention Southeastern, LNER, Northern and Transpennine Express basically already were nationalised

 

It's still a running joke among my friends that I'm actually a vampire, to explain not only how I still get ID'd for drinks at my age, but also all the trivia I have on historical stuff like the railways. Any time I bring up some kind of historic inaccuracy, the standard go-to is for one of them to chime in about how I was there.

 

Southeastern from my experience has only got worse since the OLR took over. I know that Northern and TPE are still problematic but I don't know to what extent.

 

I caught a 30 minutes late TPE 185 the other week. Station announcements blamed "a problem with this train". Guard apologised over the PA blaming an EMR service in front having issues. No idea who is wrong and is right. The service in front was an hour + late.

Think the latest I've personally been on a Northern train is about 15 due to "unavailability of train crew". Main issue with Northern is all the two car trains

 

Fair point, for those of us who worked on the railway when it was privatised, the return of franchises to public ownership (rather than TOCs being terminated and reverting to the Operator of Last Resort) is a bigger thing than for general rail enthusiasts, especially younger ones who didn't experience the BR era.
