    DTG's Test-track route. It's circular, so infinite length! Though it's not clear what country it's based in as it uses generic scenery assets. The Glasgow Subway route is also circular and that's definitely in the UK.

    Just Trains Western Mainline is the longest I'm aware of, though really it's a collection of linked routes. The longest single commercial DLC I know of is West Highland South, which is well over 100 miles.

    Hi Halil,

    Bear in mind size isn't alwayss everything! If you want to run realistic levels of AI traffic to see during your journey, you will probably need to break it into bite-sized chunks anyway.

    Best regards,

    John

    Except it is not one route - you have to purchase multiple routes and then combine them
    it is based on the test Track at Wildenrath in Germany - ignoring the connection to the main line it is not far out

    We can argue. In my opinion it is definitely a route as it has it's own route ID: bd6b8a4f-35cc-4f44-ba07-7a3b1cd56cbf
    The claim is:
    • 393 miles of driving between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverley

    Also there are some really long routes in Europe
    - RSSLO has several
    • Combine Sudbahn - 235 km
    • Combine Western Austria - 350 km
    • Combine Linz - Inglostadt - 300 km
    • Combine Ljubljana - Salzburg - 365 km
    Denmark has 2 huge routes (mainly Free Roam) Jylland and Sjaelland - both may have 1000+km of network!
