I recently started playing on ECW, and was wondering if there is a way to drive the 12-car formation? I saw them both at Brighton and Eastbourne, but only for the services leaving the map. Even when spawning to take this specific train I saw at Eastbourne as a 12-car unit, it then only spawned as a 8-car unit. Are there special services that run this configuration, or is it down to Scenario Planner? Thanks for the help
The 12 car trains at Brighton go to London, which is outside the map. Only 4 and 8 car services are drivable in timetable mode, all the 12 car trains go outside the map. There are 12 car formations in the scenario designer however. Hope this helps!
I really hope that when (rather than if) they make London to Brighton they do so as an extension / add-on to ECW rather than a standalone route. To make it stand alone would be a real shame.
I really hope that they listent to the communitty to make London to Brighton it shouldn't be that hard,they aleardy have the linceses for Southern and a 377 if they are working on this I hope that it comes also with a Gatwick Express 387
You can use a 12 car 377 in scenario planner but otherwise there are no services which consist of 12 services
Sure, that always works, but Scenario Planner is such a pain, I would have liked to drive them in the time table, but that seems to be not possible.
there is only one service on the ECW which has a composition of 12car I will send you a link this is in timetable mode
So how did you manage to make that one a 12-car unit? Cause spawning on foot and starting the service both make it an 8-car service for me
I'm pretty sure there are no 12 car consists because the platforms on the route IN THE GAME don't support them.
There's a number of 12-car services from Eastbourne to Victoria via Lewes in reality, but they are not simulated for whatever reason. Platform lengths aren't an issue as all 377s and the vast majority of stations on the the SN network are fitted with ASDO.
Yep but this is a game isn't it....... Yes, yes it is! It's not been added for whatever reason, easier just to limit consists in the game to what will fit in the platforms.
I mean it would be nice to have those services from Eastbourne to L Victoria, and also the SDO functionality of course (I mean, you can at least only open the doors on the first 4-car unit, I think that is decent enough to include 12-car formations). Maybe when ECW gets a rework, that could be added, or if there is another route with the Electrostar (which there will be for sure ) they could add this functionality.
Kind of a shame that Vic bound services aren’t replicated. Would be good to be able to join the 4 car to the back of 1F09 like it does in real life.
