My question is this in Dawlish there are two level crossings present in each end of the station is the small level crossing just automatic or is it like IRL where you have to press plunger to manually operate level crossing also the platform near that small level crossing is it accessible in free roam mode ?
Dawlish? It had a foot crossing for prams, wheelchairs and anyone who couldn’t do stairs, but it was always operated by station staff. Since the new footbridge came along there’s been lifts installed, so I think the crossing is out of use now.
Regarding the Riveria route.Will this be purchasable as a separate dlc at launch? At the moment on microsoft store it says not available separately,i assume this is due to the game not released yet? I know its probably better value to buy the cheapest edition with 3 routes but foreign routes dont interest me.
lol foreign routes do not interest me if you are a real Trains fan you will play any Train and any Route did you at least try some foreign routes ?
Different people enjoy different types of route. Some people like all countries, some only UK, some only German or only US. This is all fine.
I agree. I’m not a huge fan of US content apart from the metro style routes (LIRR). Believe me I’ve tried to sink some time into routes like Cajon Pass and San Bernardino, but I can’t. I would start a TT service and about 15 minutes in I lose interest, get bored and end the service. I don’t have any problems with other countries though.
One of the great things about train simming is to get out of the parochial box and explore railways and trains from around the world. Which is why I’m particularly looking forward to the Czech route. Never been there but have watched numerous cab and train window rides on YT and hooked. Only regret is they’re not doing one of those dinky 810 Railcars though hopefully that will come as a DLC or in their next route.
Yeah have to say all these European routes are really nice to drive. If it weren't for TSW I wouldn't have bothered exploring any of them, as I was a UK-exclusive player on TSC with all the EPs and whatnot. Gotta love how easy it is to hop into TSW and drive. Nowadays all I drive is European routes. XD
I first discovered the joys of European railways, particularly Scandinavia, in early 80’s followed later on by North America. While unlikely to happen, I would love to see something like the Bergen Line (or part of) or the famous iron ore line from Kiruna to Narvik in TSW.
I drive and enjoy absolutely everything that is train related and I actually enjoy US freight, I find the criticisms levelled at it puzzling because juggling the speed of a long and heavy freight train over inclines and declines, and keeping to speed limits I find there is actually more player input required than driving a fast passenger train from A to B for an hour. Each to their own I think is the motto. I wouldn’t pass on any train which is why I find satisfaction in every train sim. But for people to specialise in one country or train type is fine too. That’s the beauty of this game as there is something for everyone and you don’t have to buy all the dlc. This might actually be why some people specialise - for economical reasons, we shouldn’t forget that.
