    You can keep playing after you complete the monthly challenges. Making the challenges harder just makes life difficult to people with less time available than you.

    I’ll probably join you guys and gals later in the month. Having got the (physics modded) Duchess Of Sutherland up and running in TSC, with 15 Matrix P3 coaches on the rear (including some sleeping cars) I’m going on tour, starting with Glasgow to Carlisle. Pretty much beats any experience TSW can offer.

    This month's mastery is not that big of a chore. If I had a bit more time today I would have finished it on day one. Plenty of time left to do it this month :)

    In the end I went back and finished it as I felt a bit OCD! Just worked Medway Valley for a bit and that took care of the objectives and accumulated timetable runs.

    With a few days to go now until September's mastery, will anyone else be waiting for the release of TSW7 before attempting it?

    I think I might.

    I suspect it will be a very simple one again.
    Hopefully also roll forward from 6 to 7.

    Nah, I have time to play Tuesday. So I'll probably have a go right away.

    No more masteries for new routes, but the monthly mastery (and other seasonals) stay.

    For me after buying a route I liked the challenge of achieving the mastery levels. After achieving them I felt good that I had gotten value from the purchase. I will be less likely to buy marginal routes because of this change.

    Nah, I will try to finish it before TSW 7 is released.
    Hopefully everything will be fine, but you never know if something will go wrong with the launch. I prefer to stay on the safe side and not having to worry.

    That’s not a bad line up, should be doable before TSW7 lands.

    The main loop is 4 kilometers I believe. So two laps should do it.

    Nice. This month only the training center challenge requires a detour from my regular play. The rest will take care of itself. Decent level of challenge for the second tier.

    Do you have Nürnberg-Ingolstadt? It's a bit more efficient (higher average speed) and more fun (IMO).
