Hi All I have been asked by a friend if either of the above route sections are available in TS Classic ? As far as I know theyre not, but I may stand corrected ! Can you help ? Thanks Derek
Nothing south of Stockport on the Crewe or Stoke lines is available in TSC until you reach Crewe or Kidsgrove This map might help https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/train-simulator-classic-2025_940885#9/53.238099/-2.197266
You're correct. The only place I've seen Stoke appear is ATS WC Missing Link and that doesn't cover the Macc route going north (just the Crewe via Kidsgrove leg). Never seen the Wilmslow-Crewe line in TSC.
Some observations I notice your route map need updating The Leeds Northwest route also goes to Bradford and Ilkley which appear on the individual map but not the UK map Some Payware routes missing from the UK map - like Stainmore, Shap and the Eden Valley Also your UK map has some Freeware routes, like the Wirral line, but not others like the Severn Valley route or South Lancashire and North Cheshire.
This is true. These are all of the routes I own. I am not an avid steam engine officianado therefore I have not acquired them. Some freeware routes I like and use, others I have not had the desire to acquire. Most of my content centers around commercially purchased content, Steam, JT, AP, RSSLO, ATS and ChrisTrains product. I am making copies of each scenario as I complete them. The site is mainly for my own records of what I have completed, however, I decided to share the information in case it was of benefit to others who may be curious about DLC content. Respectfully
Thanks bud. At LAST someone has read AND UNDERSTOOD my post ! WIsh someone would complete both those routes !
Plenty of us read and understood your post, but there is no need to "shout" in capital letters. I could have suggested a steam-era route which includes the Stoke area but thought that wouldn't go down very well either. If your friend wants it, it is UKTS file 25269. John
You might have replied to post #7 but I gave the same info in post #6 To extend the line from Stockport to Stoke/Crewe would mean an extension to a Just Trains route. You could ask ATS to extend from Crewe to Stockport - they made Manchester - Alderley Edge in TSW
I've heard Alan Thomson (ATS version) saying they hoped to add the Stoke to Manchester line in a future phase of WCML "Missing Link" but that was just after the current Stoke lines were completed (now several years ago) so I guess it probably isn't going to happen.
On ATs website on their route (RW) Manchester North West Network Phase 1.12, it states that Piccadilly to Manchester Airport in Phase 2 coming soon. Also l believe one of their Northern routes includes Manchester to Crewe in a much later phase. For anyone who wants more information, I suggest you submit a support request on their website.
