    I think we should see the Cambridge to brighton route in train sim world 2. If the whole route can't be fit in to the game it should end at east croydon. Let me know what everyone thinks about this!

    Personally, I'd rather see the the Class 700 be added into London Commuter and would be a fantastic addition to the route with both the 8-car /0 and 12-car /1.

    My reasoning is that on London Commuter, while Cambridge services from Brighton are there, there's also other services such as Brighton-Bedford (both to East Croydon via the Quarry Line (fast line) as well as Gatwick-Bedford, and Horsham-Peterborough (driveable from Three Bridges) as far as East Croydon via Redhill. Plus also some peak services like Littlehampton-Bedford (driveable between Hove-East Croydon).

    Regarding your Cambridge suggestion, I'd like to see the ECML south between St Pancras (or even at least Finsbury Park) to Peterborough. Then you'll have TL services on the route to Peterborough, but with the Cambridge services driveable as far as Hitchin.

    9th generation consoles can handle those since PS5 Xbox Series X/S use PC timetable

    even then the route itself has many timetable issues and problems i feel adding more stuff to it won't help and yeah 8th gen consoles struggle a lot and i don't see dtg stopping stuff for them just yet

    yea - I hope the new upcoming UK loco would be the class 700 - using it on the London Commuter.

    Really good valid points. Since summer 2021 consoles need 9th gen to run PC Timetable. how would they manage Boston-Providence Acela Express Nahverkehr Dresden ICE-T and BML Class 700 for 8th generation consoles?

    I only want the 700 if they don’t mess up the 3D model and especially the sounds which was terrible on TSC

    Class 700 on TSC was pretty terrible. However, the modal itself isn't actually bad. It looks quite good. Now there is suspicion amongst those in the community the 700 modal in TSC was actually ported over from a TSW developed modal. How true this is I don't know. However, looking at the details it has in TSC in the cab, it seems likely.

    As to the route suggestion - no chance. With the traffic and the route length you'd end up with only PC's and next gen consoles being able to run it. :).

    I play TSW2 and BML (and other Rush Hour routes) run pretty well, sometimes some frame drops and crashes but tis fine. They are working on that DLC's Manager (old PS5 dlc limit fix) and it will reduce 500MG for PS4 so once that is release the gameplay will be pretty great again.

    It is possible taht they've focused more on TSC's C700 model than the rest of it and that they will use the model for TSW. They did that too with the DB RB 442 front and if im not wrong TGV Duplex too!

    I don't necessary think having the Class 700 would mean not having it on 8th gen consoles, but most likely an alternate timetable with fewer existing services maybe?

    Wasn't it initially stated that those with 9th gen consoles and PC, which can handle more memory regarding DLC layers and/or massive timetables on the likes of London Commuter - plus any other DLC - wouldn't mean being held back by 8th gen? It's difficult to find that balance, although everyone has the right to get the full enjoyment out of a DLC, so obviously I hope such memory challenges can be fixed for those still on 8th gen.
