Hove In Brighton Main Line?

Hove is in the Brighton Main Line, along with the depot, is this a clue to a future expansion to West Coastway or is this just to add to the realism?

 

I don't think it's a clue. BML is from October 2021 so we're almost 5 years later.

 

Ahh, I see. Just felt a bit weird adding a station and depot which they are never going to use. Thanks for the reply.

 

The station is close to Brighton like London Road, so for a bit more realism and to avoid having an empty space near Brighton, they added it. Whether it's BML or other routes, there are many inaccessible stations.

 

Got it, thanks.

 

BML is still one of the most fragile routes in TSW, such that even DTG fear to tread with minor fixes to what’s already there, let alone add to the length and complexity.

 

I just thought London Road was on the map as it is visible from Brighton.

 

Also Ardingly is on the BML where you can spawn, but when I try to drive out, it just despawns me. Bit weird.

 

Hove in the Brighton Main Line Route (BML) is pretty much empty, there's nothing to see there

 

Yes, if they were to add a West Coastway route, it would be separate. Good point.

 

Yeah, just zoomed right the way in using photo mode and you can only see some buildings.

 

Yeah by the time you get to Hove station itself I think it's just track and empty landscape. The scenery runs out shortly after the tunnel iirc

 

On the preview stream they said the track was laid and that was it. There's no scenery or modelling at Hove at all. I'm pretty sure its a glorified fiddle yard for all of the WCW trains and the Hove shuttle to go into. I guess it'd make the timetable more straightforward to have that trackwork there for the timetable than mess around with all these different portal movements.

 

I've had no problems driving out of ardingly

 

Might just be my annoying pc...
