For me in order of preference it has to be NTP, TVL then GWE. I have a feeling BL, GWE, SHS and ECW will get priority for UK sadly :/
TVL is basically a freight route. Why would it be a priority for the Rush Hour treatment? I would think the first pass would be the specifically commuter-rail oriented routes, LIRR, Bakerloo and Rapid Transit. Especially since all three have been long criticized for feeling sparse and dead compared to the real routes. As for NTP- there were no rush hours in the 70s, because everybody was out of work.
At no point has it been suggested that other routes will get amendments other than getting the new passenger system. I wouldn’t expect any changes to timetables on the old routes as part of a Rush Hour style retrospective. Bakerloo will probably get the timetable update it was meant to have at some point but that’s about all I would expect, unless other improvements will allow LIRR and GWE to be enhanced, and the layers for HMA on console or course.
I believe from what DTG a\has said about it, Rush hour will feature new routes and trains, as well as increase timetable capacity on some existing routes.
Yep, LIRR for me too. A route that has been advertised as one of the busiest railways in the US, yet is one of the emptiest in the game. It could really use this Rush Hour update. And since with the NEC route they already have to work with similar (if not exactly the same) ATC system, they could go back and fix the ATC on LIRR as well, then make a proper timetable.
Anything commuter focus really, especially LIRR, RT, and Bakerloo since they need a rush hour update. I am already aware of Rapid Transit getting a new timetable so that I'll be looking forward to.
I totally get questioning the relevance of TVL, but I would like to see it. Also my question and my own nominations are quite deliberately worded i.e. I dont expect to see it on TVL and I cant see NTP being a high priority for DTG due to age and size. In a way I hope NTP isnt in the first batch -if it gets RH at all- as by then will have had time to get it just right. I think it likely we will see it on GWE, a shame I dont play it much, but if they do add RH and I can find Legends on sale that might change things.
Another problem with NTP and TVL is that they have and presumably need their own special set of NPC models, with 70s clothes and hair
My best guess of the order would either be by country or in order they were released going from newest to oldest or possibly in the order the preserved collection was done in
I would like to see rush hour come to Bakerloo Line SKA and then HMA will probably be Adams team implementing it.
CN Oakville Subdivision, Sandpatch Grade, and Clinchfield. But seriously folks, Bakerloo, East Coastway, and literally any German route, though I think Rapid Transit would benefit particularly.
Hmm, Bakerloo fits perfectly into "Rush Hour" but given we've still not seen the extended timetables then who knows.. maybe they're holding off for RH to be released.. So, Bakerloo, Great Western Express & Long island Rail Road.
They aren’t my favourite routes by a long shot, but it’s only logical that Bakerloo & LIRR get the RH treatment. Personally I’d like to see SEHS & LGV Med get the feature.
Yep, and it has passed QA already (unfortunately the BR 182 did not). We should get the RT update really soon (my bet is next tuesday, but this is not official).
DTG said only that they would "look into" copying the new passenger system into existing routes and that it would require a major route upgrade in each case. Nothing was said about new timetables or any other changes, except what might come with core enhancements. I think y'all are "whistling Dixie" in this thread.
