    I think what otisdepotis means is that back in March it was listed as being over three months away, which would put the earliest release around July.

    Either way, I’d rather they spend more time polishing the route than rush out a half-baked release.

    Well I’m sorry, but there should have been a bit of serious thinking before going ahead and putting a route up for wish-listing on a gaming platform, which, after coming to the right conclusion, would have created unnecessary excitement in those interested, if at a minimum no further info was planned to have been released for some time. If you don’t care/ not interested in the route, just say so. Still looking forward to it though :)

    Yes, that’s what I mean and you’re 100% right I would rather wait a few weeks and have a route that’s completely finished than a rushed one. B2C is a beautiful route but it had a lot of issues and when the 805 was released they didn’t have enough time to add cruise control. So I want them to take their time, good things take time.
    (I think march is 0-1 months April is 1-2 and may 2-3 so I think that June is the earliest possible release date)

    How dare they allow you to wishlist before a release date, that is just completely unheard of....(sarcastic)

    Isn't that part of the reason a wishlist is there so you can get notice when a release date is announced?

    The wording on the May roadmap however suggested that this route would be the next UK route to release and release soon, I remember it because I swore very loudly that the JT route was still not coming out yet...

    I have in my wish list, for ETS2 and ATS, release forecasts that date from the end of 2025.

    I mean, sounds like there’s been some internal personnel stuff going on within DTG, from Alex’s earlier post re RFTV lack of updates, so presumably attention internally has been elsewhere (should be understandable)

    the release date will be announced when it’s ready to go; why are people up in arms? If it ain’t ready to go yet, then just chill out… it’s already a pretty quick turnaround from announcement to release window…

    im looking forward to it too.. think its going to be amazing doing the run from Euston-Crewe (via route hop), but just be patient!

    it’s clearly just around the corner, unless they’ve found something in pre-release, in which case great, if they’ve caught it pre-release and are going back around again.

    That's true, best they take a bit more time but release it in a more polished state.

    Also to be fair in any case the 0-3 months isn't even a sort of countdown according to DTG themselves, Preston to Crewe has been there for 6 months now.

    Just because a page on Steam accidentally released that means absolutely nothing, as no one has officially given a release date whether that be the Devs or DTG themselves... So, why people are throwing their toys out of the pram is beyond me. Just be patient for goodness sake.

    It'll release when it's ready, and an article will be published when it's ready. It'll be a great route when it's released I have no doubt and I'm just as excited as anyone else, but stop basing your entire lives around it and acting like you're owed an explanation when the Devs or DTG haven't given a release date. You only have yourself to blame for getting your knickers in a twist, and the attitude like you're owed an explanation won't be doing you any favours either.

    Calm down, lay in bath and have a Magnum as Superhans from Peep Show would say.

    My hope is that they was expecting to release but they found some concerns and they've held back the release rather than just fire and forget. If the quality is good on day 1, then I am sure it will be worth the wait

    I think some find it odd just because up until now DTG hasn't done it this way, not that I'm aware. IIRC even new iterations of TSW get added to Steam only once the release date is known.

    Didn't people criticise Birmingham to Crewe for releasing seemingly before being fully polished?
    Now people are moaning about waiting for Trent Valley even though the Steam page is up...?

    Whether or not there's a Steam page or not, it'll release when it releases
