I have played 2 scenarios and still no 465 , and didn’t have more than 3 pasangers , BUT they have changed timetable and it’s easier to get to next station on time , but still loose points for speeding when not ....
Yes the 465 now appears more regularly on Rainham and Gillingham services with a few popping up from Ramsgate.
If you go onto timetable, do a service and then go into free roam then no more 465's appear. Been on freedom for about 2 hours and seen 2 465 in the first 15 mins and that's it.
It's not the same Steven. Your expectations for seeing them are far too high. They are randomly assigned, I've said in the other thread you need to think about where these trains go, and how they are deployed. The 465 depot is Slade Green not Gillingham or Ramsgate, so when they run off map, they do not run empty stock back to Gillingham, they stay off map until they are randomly assigned to their next service. They run between London terminals and Gravesend in their own right. They have been added in to imitate the Class 700 services to Rainham, which they share with 375's. You used to see them 1 in 10+, now you are more likely to see the 465 during the AM peak towards London, and then coming out of London in the PM peak. Standing at 11am to 1pm at Rochester, the chances of the game actually sending you a 465 are quite low, yes they are timetabled to those services, but so are 375's, which have an on world depot at Gillingham where they terminate.
Yes I agree Completely: The 465s aren't the most common sight on the chatham mainline and I think mostly do the seml instead since its slightly shorter. But aside I think it would be nice to maybe just see a couple more but not too many of course: we dont want to take away the realism at all!
