    This is why, for route hopping to be convincing, the train you were driving previously needs to sub over the default in the continuation including importing any late running you might have incurred. It also needs to happen from the cab then spawn you back in the cab, not return to free roam and amble across to a marker.

    Something that doesn't subtract from the gameplay but does irk me a little, why are the wires so straight? Usually they go I'm a zig-zag formation.

    I'm pretty sure you don't need the route, only the engineering pack

    Is it worth it to add more freight layers? I’m happy to spend £10 if it unlocks a decent amount.

    Same problem with the 390s. Furthermore, some services available with the 805 Evero timetable in WCMLS are not there in MKC to Crewe.

    I haven't tested it yet, but this PC mod is meant to 'unlock' the DRS Class 66 services without needing the Engineering Express pack.

    Requirements are the Class 66 Megapack and either Cargo Line Vol. 3 for the FKAs services or Cargo Line Vol. 5 for the FNAs services.

    This has been mentioned in the Feedback thread. Once noticed, you can’t unsee it. I know it would be a significant job to redo, but as the route builder(s) got it wrong then they need to go back in and sort it. Very surprised it wasn’t picked up during snagging and play testing, I mean it’s a fairly basic principle of laying out high voltage overhead wire system.

    Now I'm curious. Why is this?

    It's to allow even wear on the pantograph, if it where dead straight you'd end up with grooved pantos.

    very surprising indeed, especially since a couple of the aabs devs previously worked for ats who are well renowned for their ohle modelling

    Another screenshot but I couldn’t not!

    A summer evening and 390006 skirts alongside the Grand Union Canal at Whilton Marina on 1A74 1943 Nuneaton (1835 Manchester Piccadilly) to London Euston.

    Atleast we are getting value for money! 2x bugs for the price of 1!

    I had a go at driving it but when I entered the cab & tried to sit down it launched its self off the track :D

    Come on DTG get it sorted.

    Yes, I reckon that’s because the locomotive is stuck inside the goods wagon.
    As you can see in your picture. And TSW really doesn’t like that sort of thing.

    Hi all. What are the playable 323 services on here - and how long? Just empty moves?

    Thanks.

    All empty moves two full length runs and some short moves.
