    Please do not use all caps, and second of all GWE will be free those who already owned it in TSW2020. For those who do not yet have it will have to pay for it.

    think what he is trying to say is it might not show up as free till later in the day,sure it was mentioned somewhere.

    It is only disc owners who need to wait until a little later in the day to claim their entitlement, I have update the disc owners section of the forums with all relevant information.

    The updated post only points at ps4, do we presume xbox should download ok, or follow the steps aforementioned?

    There is a separate thread in the Xbox section of the forums for Xbox disc owners. But to briefly explain, disc owners should contact customer support in order to get access to the content. Anyone who owns it digitally will see it available automatically.

    Don't know how as It says you have to wait till 1pm to access both. Though actually north transpennine shows up now but Gwr doesn't

    CGInv To clarify, it is only Disc Owners on PS4 that are required to wait for the entitlement.

    Also i see that the disc version of tsw2 is coming soon, would that solve the problem im having with downloading my entitlement to the preserved collection?
    Not that I should have to buy the game all over again.

    What content are you missing exactly? And did you purchase these for TSW2020? As of the latest "Preserved Collection" release I have all bar the heavy freight pack for NTP. Which I assume has been put back as Sam alluded to this in a stream a while back

    GWE and NTP are up on the TSW2020 in game store page for those who owned them on disc.

    Hi all, I have the original TSW, and the GWE route that came with it, and purchased TSW2 when it came out, i have uploaded all the preservers routes when they have been released with no issue, yet I am still having issues with the GWE as it is still showing I have to pay £24.99 for it
    I have not had this issue with any other route or train as when using the PlayStation store it just shows the download button, such as the NTP route, however for the GWE it shows that it needs to be bought at every stage/page right up to the last one before purchasing.
    I really don’t want to have to buy it again, It is the case where it will show it needs to be bought when actually no money is taken or has anyone else had it where it has ur to be purchased agin despite already owning the route.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply, I have tried using the store within TSW2 game but again it still shows for £24.99, all the other ones from the previous game, such as the Transpennine and East Coastway, I have had no issues with. It just seems to be this particular route.

    Is the free option popping out when you click on the price?
    For me with RT there was option to either but it or get it free. With GWR I had no problems but it may be the case.

    Also, as people suggest, fire up TSW2020, go to the store page in game and not in PSN.

    Got mine release day without any problem. And like I said, I think all I did was go into the playstation store, click TSW2 then clicked add on's. I did not have to pay again and would not have paid again.

    Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions, the GWE route has now come up as free by going through TSW2020, a bit weird that you have to do it this way just for this route as the preserved routes and trains I have downloaded have all been done on through TSW2, but hey ho least it’s downloading now.
    Thanks again everyone

    It is because it was part of the base game and not add on for consoles

    Because East Coastway was a DLC while GWE wasn't
