    Atlantic High Speed made it the first time for TSC
    Have you seen somewhere that they will release it again and make a version for TSW?

    They have announced a Patch for Ashford - Lille line will be made available

    When/where? I thought they pretty much shut down and made the route and Eurostar available for download for free?

    The Eurostar and Ashford - Lile route was available for Free - as they are now fixing the problems the download was withdrawn

    On their Facebook page they announced a patch was coming out

    Well, does anybody know why ahsrailworks.weebly.com shut down and discontinued? Because another developer needs to redevelop the Atlantic High Speed Ashford-Lille route for DTG TSC, right?

    Well, actually, it was cost worthy that was purchasable only from one site.

    Wrong.
    The problems could not be fixed at the time so the train and route was made free.
    Since then the problems are being fixed and a patch will be released for those who purchased it for TSC.
    So the free products have been withdrawn

    connorlrichey - where have you seen that the route will come to TSW?

    Well, I was asking who would develop that for TSW.

    You are best asking that question on the TSW forum. This forum is for TSC discussions.

    To be fair, I can't get both Eurostar and Shuttle trains to get moving. The reskins included in Mod Pack from Backdated Trainsim does work, however.

    What has not been stated anywhere (to make the AHS Route with its full scenery) is that it needs the JT Common Library installed or it would have a number of missing scenery. I'll give another try once it is available again!

    The question is, what patch will it include?

    Presumably to make the route and Eusrostar + Shuttle trains work again.

    I happy with the pack from Backdated TrainSim that makes the Eurostar drive a lot better than the original version

    I don't think so. Someone took the content and allowed everyone to download it for free. Here's a comment from AHS from their FB:

    "Hello, for quite some time a smart guy took the liberty of copying my site and started to freely download my line and train files Ahs railworks, I don't put the link, you will understand
    This person is now the subject of legal proceedings and will soon have to be held accountable for copyright infringement as well as unauthorized distribution."

    Not quite.
    AHS release the Eurostar train and the Ashford - Lille route for Free when the 2024 TSC update broke it.
    The link to it was on the AHS website but was removed for the reason in your quote

    Wellington said it was possible to fix it - but did not tell anyone how
    https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/ahs-class-373-eurostar-train-simulator-2024-v77-6b.90657/

    Recently AHS has been working on the files to make them work with the current version of TSC.
    And according to their FB page a patch will be released

    Considering the site that was hosting the free files was 'ahs-railworks.weebly.com' instead of the website linked on their FB profile ('ahsrailworks.weebly.com'), and the website hosting the free content was taken down a day after AHS made the post I pasted above, I think it's safe to assume it was not published by AHS.

    I bought the 373 back when it first released (And was of course dissapointed by the state of it)
    I'm just curious how he'll set about rereleasing it and if he still has the old purchase records for existing customers. Although tbh I might not bother as the BDTS/Zena mod pack is miles better despite using the TGV Duplex cab model.

    It is wrong to assume
    The only difference between the two website URLs is a "-" between ahs & railworks on one and not the other.
    And it was easy to remove the 'ahs-railworks.weebly.com' as AHS was the owner

    And from their FB page-

    'Hello everyone,
    We are excited to announce that our brand-new store is now live and fully operational!
    To start, you’ll be able to discover the Channel Tunnel line, complete with its rolling stock.
    If you previously purchased the Class 373 and the line, simply send an email to atlantic-high-speed@orange.fr
    with your proof of purchase. You will then receive a dedicated link to download the latest rolling stock update, including the Class 373 and Freight Shuttles.
    Thank you for your continued support and enjoy exploring the new store!'

    Not a bad price considering you get the whole route and 2 locos thrown in.

    I had originally just purchased the Class 373 but you could not run it on DTG routes that had TVM 430 as the way it was coded is different to the DTG version.

    Since Backdated TrainSim introduced a patch for the 373 by using the Cab off the TGV Duplex I don't see a reason to change.
