PC Got Some Steam Cards To Spend For My Birthday. Medway Valley Line Or Liberec - Stará Paka?

These are very different routes, but I'd like a little input. Anyone with some thoughts on how these routes fare in TSW 7? Which do you think is the higher quality route overall? Try to put aside any personal bias if possible as I know there are a lot of UK rail fans here.

Both of them seem pretty highly regarded for scenery quality. I like that Medway has a lot of neat features like the GSM-R functionality and the CCTV for guard operations. Likewise, Liberec has some interesting features with the radio usage and other additions.

I don't have any personal attachment to these areas geographically and I'm pretty open to playing routes from various countries. I enjoy UK and German routes equally depending on my mood, as well as routes based in other areas.

Who put in more work? Who deserves my money?

Thanks for any opinions. I'll also note I do have a few layers for the Medway Line so it won't be bone stock should I decide to purchase.

 

Medway Valley without a doubt. Excellent attention to detail and a lot of variety in the timetable. One of the better routes in the game.

Liberec - Stara Paka is a nice route but as its a single-track A to B type route, you find that once you have driven one end to the other there is not much else to see.

 

i don’t own liberec, as i chose medway instead and i think you should do the same. one of the best tsw routes ever. aside from quality, one important thing to consider is that medway takes about 50 minutes to drive in it’s entirety, whereas liberec takes well over an hour which lots of people simply don’t have time for

 

I've watched plenty but of course they're all for TSW 6, and not TSW 7 which is part of why I included that part in my question. I've also taken the time to read multiple threads for each route that were posted here in the past. It seems Medway may have some issues in TSW 7, and no one has made any posts in the Liberec threads since the new game released.

Just a little fun to get some community consensus in case I missed anything myself. I've also tagged my post with the PC flair so that makes things even more specific. Console user experience is of no use to me.

 

Fair enough. I took my comment down as i felt it was me being too harsh and moaning lol. They’re both great routes. I like the Czech route for scenery and the Medway for its features.

If I absolutely had to pick one over the other I’m going to say the Czech route wins over Medway as the scenery is a lot better and the train is very unique and the sounds are amazing. But Medway is very very good too. Brilliant route also. .
