    What is your most driven route in terms of miles, and which of your routes is at the highest level, and the same 2 categories for locos. Mine are:

    Most driven route: west coast mainline south- 5948.44 miles
    Highest level route: west coast mainline south- level 79
    Most driven loco: Class 390 (mile counter is STILL missing since over a year ago)
    Highest level loco: Class 390- level 124

    Favorite train 1972 MKII Tube Stock level 479
    Favorite route SEHS level 266

    Honourable mentions
    Class 395 level 254
    Class 377/4 level 227
    Class 700 level 141
    Class 465 level 133

    Before progress got carried forward, so current GWE level not a true figure.

    Class 166 level 171
    HST GWE level 54

    Progress is based around Timetable completion.

    Will take a look later but hard to say, also not sure if the game accurately records distance and time for each route. Certainly don’t judge it on AP or what TSW declares are your favourite route and train - for me it still shows the Bakerloo Line and 1972 Stock as that, entirely due to the disproportionate amount of AP you get on an all stops rung from Harrow to E&C.

    I completed the Bakerloo timetable, so I didn't stand a chance, the 1972 stock was gonna win.

    Highest level train is the Azuma at level 99.

    Most driven train was the 323 and most driven route (and highest level route) was South Eastern Highspeed, both of which surprised me. Suspect Preston to Carlisle will catch it up shortly as play that much more at the moment.

    Most driven routes for me are London to Brighton, WCMLOS, and Peterborough to Doncaster... Once WCML Crewe to Birmingham, has updates, the North London Line has it's extension, AAS new timetable for WCMLS is out and finally the GWE Remaster they will most likely be up there too as equal contenders.

    In terms of most driven rolling stock, I think the 377/387, Class 86/87, and Class 801 are also equal in terms of mileage I have run up.

    I believe all of the above have around 3000 miles driven by me.

    My highest level train: 377/4 SN (ECW) at level 63.
    Can't find mileage anywhere?

    My highest level route: SEHS at level 44
    Highest travelled route: SEHS at 2,802

    Quite surprising as I'd say my favourite route so far is Blackpool.

    my most driven routes are probably WCML Shap and NTP, as for miles no idea but between all the TSW iterations i have about 2900hrs of playtime, so probs lots of miles :)

    1 - F59PHR on Antelope Valley Line and San Bernardino Line
    2 - ALP-45DP on Morristown Line
    3 - Santa Fe C40-8W on Cajon Pass

    I'm surprised, but BML and Class 377. Honestly, I thought it would be something else, since I haven't launched this route for several years.

    Most driven route has to be probably wcmlos. As for most driven loco, I would take a guess and say class 87

    In all honesty the stats are a bit misleading. Blackpool is a much shorter route than Sehs

    I have a soft spot for driving the 700 on the BML for the simple reason that DTG moaned about it being impossible then a modder went and did it for them.
    Otherwise I’m not really a fan of any one particular train or route I like to diversify.

    My favorite 3 routes currently are Morristown, Boston Worcester, and LIRR 2.0
    The route I have the highest level on is New York - Trenton at level 53, but Morristown and Boston Worcester are catching up quick. (47 and 39)
    My highest level locomotive is the ALP-46 at level 83 (it’s my favorite locomotive if you can’t tell)
    runner up is the Acela at level 53.

    WCML Preston - Crewe along with the class 86 & 87, although I suspect the 101 would be a runner up.

    How do you get thousands of miles on these relatively short routes?
    Especially start/stop commuter routes with waiting?
    That's insane!
    I think I get maybe an hour a day on average in (about 300-400 a year according to steam) but it's across a lot of routes and trains.
    As such it's all over the place.
    Favorite train is the GP-38 at level 17, but favorite route is West Somerset at level 13.
    It's really a little of this and a little of that hopping around the globe =-)
